Just 20 sec read! WHYCHCOTE : These pitched roofs are  playing up and down from hundreds of years. People of every country follows same tradition of building houses as strong as they could to make them stand still for many more years. Anyways the houses built before 100 years span from today unlike Contemporary houses have used burnt bricks, mud-lime mortar and timber posts and beams which are proven to be more healthier and sustainable shelters.  In United Kingdom, the added material was wool and black tiles (black tiles more prominent in Brighton) in the cavity between wooden walls or roofs to counter harsh winters and more rains.  The Whychcote is a house with Tudor style of Victorian architecture of late 1880's. It is very closely attached to the history of Portslade village.  This house enhances life of the family members and street of the village with juxtaposing period features and historical elements perfectly appointed with new features.

In old days each of our activity and the grandma's stories we hear today used to he inscribed on houses in form of carvings or paintings on walls. How deep was there understanding that, they believed that  it would become our grandfather's heritage and pass on from generation to generation.  The two tangibe and intangible factors that connects us with our history are "sentiments" attached to our grandfather's house and it's rich "architecture respectively.  On that note, not only be proud of our patrimony but percieve the significnace it had, has and will have forever.
