Answer 1

its wattle and daub..its made by making a frame work of weaved hazel twigs ..you then apply the daub ...this was mainly clay and cow manure mixed together with horse hair ...the horse hair curled around the twigs and held it together ..the mixture was basically thrown on and then smoothed out ..when dried it was remarkably weatherproof ...I'm a builder in the uk and have worked on many properties  with this type of construction
