Mud and Stud - Lincolnshire's Indigenous Vernacular Building Technique

Lincolnshire has a long tradition of building in earth but, as with many things, the county does it a bit differently.

Mud and stud is a hybrid technique, combining earth and timber to cremate buildings which have responded to their environment for more than half a millennium, and which have the potential to inform building methods in the future too.

This talk will explore the technique, place it in its historical and geographical context and take a peek at how it might inform building in Lincolnshire - and perhaps beyond? - in a changing world.

Whatever your politics, you have to admit that @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social are outstanding lyricists and musicians. And in this particular case they have absolutely hit the nail on the head.

I'm very much looking forward to speaking to Willoughby History Group (nr Alford) on Saturday about mud and stud. It's fun to be giving this talk in the heartland of the technique, and I'm also very excited to be able to share about the Mud & Stud Buildings project - and invite them to get involved.

Well it's 11 o'clock at night but it's snowing for the first time this year so I couldn't help sneaking out to enjoy it. The snow is really odd - soft and fluffy but weirdly dry in the hand, even when you take a handful back home to show the rest of the family!

A snowy scene, taken at night, of a triangle of roads with six trees in the middle, and old farm buildings on each side. The side roads are covered in snow - as is the grass - but the main road in the foreground is mostly clear

I'm absolutely delighted to share that I have just been appointed Project Officer for Lincolnshire County Council's new Mud and Stud project. Really looking forward to getting stuck into the first proper county-wide study of its indigenous building technique!

A mud and stud cottage with lovely daubed walls, thatched roof and brick plinth. It looks really inviting and makes you want to go in through the door and explore.

Really looking forward to speaking at the 'Counting Chimneys - The Hearth Tax in Lincolnshire' conference on the 25th. Everyone is welcome, book in now! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/counting-c...

Picture shows a mud and stud smokehood exposed when the thatch was removed. It is made of timber and earth walling, but has been cut off below the ridge line. It originally served two fireplaces. The rafters and ridge-piece are much altered, but bits of the reed under-lining of the ceiling within survive

Really enjoyed the first episode of @timeteam.bsky.social's latest excavation series - having really enjoyed volunteering as a test-pitter last year. Can't say I remember those finds though 😄. Next episode is out tomorrow... youtu.be/pYD3VOLd6_M?...

I wish I had been able to go on a weekend like this when I was an undergraduate. If you've ever wondered about the houses of ordinary folk in history, or (if you know me) wondered what it is that I actually get up to, then book in and have an amazing weekend in Oxfordshire!

Absolutely devastated to learn today that Pete's Eats in Llanberis has gone the way of all things. It's been an (admittedly less frequent than I would like) part of my life forever, and now there's no point finishing the Welsh 2000s if I can't finish in Pete's Eats!

Really sad to hear this news - the Ponies are one of a kind, and their arrangements are really creative and distinctive, so there is no way this is just creative coincidence.

Absolutely loving @skinnylister.bsky.social 's new album Songs From The Yonder, and the latest Pieces of Eight from @thelongestjohns.bsky.social - 2025 is a good year for folk music, who else should I be listening to?

Very much looking forward to speaking to Grantham Local History Society on Monday evening. I'll be talking about all things Mud and Stud at Grantham Museum at 7.30pm,and would love to see you there!

🧵 The UK government has announced they will make over £5bn in cuts to disabled people’s social security. This is the biggest cut on record. And we’re appalled. People at food banks have told us that they’re terrified about how they might survive.

Amazing gig tonight with @thelongestjohns.bsky.social and @elponypisador.bsky.social - we've been waiting a long time to hear Northwest Passage live with the whole crew and they didn't disappoint! SUUUUUUU!

Both bands gathered at the end of the gig, discussing the ripeness of a wheel of Double Gloucester decorated with Gazpacho, the Longest Pony

The Longest Pony in full voice, with Sebastia standing in and doing a great job!

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive. You do not need a degree to visit an archive. There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors. If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you. It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.

These guys are a ray of joy in dark days. The language is sometimes a little strong (but always justified) for sharing with little ones, but the love of humanity, talent and political acuity are outstanding!
