Vernacular Design
A Vernacular structure is one that built in the style of the time. In the case of the 14th and 15th
centuries the construction
is likely to be of timber frame in England. In modern day a Vernacular building is more likely to be of
bricks and mortar.
According to the Wikipedia page:
"
Vernacular architecture is building done outside any academic tradition, and without professional guidance.
It is not a particular architectural movement or style, but rather a broad category, encompassing a
wide range and variety of building types, with differing methods of construction, from around the world,
both historical and extant and classical and modern.
