I think you're right, the Tudor period itself was actually the period
immediately after the middle ages (in England). I generally find myself
building in a late medieval style anyway (as I think most of us do whether
by chance or design), the 1300s and 1400s saw Castle building coming to it's
pinacle. So the tudor style look fits well with my castles. But it's always
nice to build other things in different styles to add some variation.

I don't know of any such book, you could try to have a look at some films of
the period. Braveheart has some various building in it I think. Lots of huts
made with grass roofs and stuff. You could always build structures using the
log wall pieces from Fort Legoredo and maybe the white ones from the Ninja
sets, I imagine that would look pretty authentic.
