Hi Lenny,
Just the other day I was noticing the same thing: That most Lego MOC Castle
Villages focus on the Tudor style, as does the Guarden Inn. If I recall
correctly, such a style was not popular until late in the middle ages, and even
then not everywhere. I have a few books on life during the middle ages that
describe the old wattle and daub and such. But I have very little in the way
of pictures for inspiring MOCs.
I would very much like to hear if any such books exist...
Cheers,
-Hendo
