Editing ALVATIA: Ingsby - Wright (section)

==The Wright's Cottage==

Just north of the [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Pond|pond]] is the cottage and workshop of the village woodwright. His croft is somewhat soggy, and stays a bit muddy most of the year. A few fruit trees cluster at the east end of the croft, away from the cottage. A few trestles and planks support timber being stored or dried under thatch covers; more bits of thatch and lumber litter the croft. A miniature cottage houses three large, unfriendly dogs of the ''-TO BE NAMED LATER-'' breed; they will not leave the croft unless provoked or led by the wright or his family.

The four bay cottage itself smells of wood. The hall is crowded with lumber, from small pieces for stool legs to framing timbers; they lie in piles or stand leaning against the walls. In fact, from time to time the wattle-and-daub walls have collapsed outwards from the pressure, and the wright has now placed planks across the interior walls to better spread the load. Stools, doors, tables, windows, and other furnishings in every stage of construction add to the clutter here. The axes, saws, planes, files, augers and other tools are kept in a 4 foot high chest, and on a shelf above it, in the hall. A sturdy stair leads up to the solar loft over the pantry.
