Marcus, timber-framing is know very widely, but Northern Germany has

Inspectors answered firmly "For all the bricks", Scots replied "What bricks ?"</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">and explained that stone was the principal, nearly sole building material used in Scotland and bricks were not even</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
