tinside of medieval house A short animation of the inside of a cruck timber house with the sun just rising is available here. This is a flash animation just under 2Mb. It should run on broadband although it may be jerky the first time round.

Worth mentioning that when people lived in this type of house spinning wheels were very uncommon as drop-spindles were easier to make and use.  The spinning wheel was introduced to Britain at the end of the medieval period although there are indications that they were in use at the end of the 13th century.

There is some historical information available at the company of the silver spindle
