Wolvercote resident Michael Buck shows off the house he built at an undisclosed location in Oxfordshire
WOLVERCOTE resident and housebuilder Michael Buck will give a talk in the village next week.
Mr Buck has built a number of thatched cob houses from earth, clay and straw, including one in his back garden.
The villager built his first cob house in 2013 for £150 and told the Oxford Mail it could be a solution to the housing crisis and also appeared on Channel 4.
The former art teacher and Green county councillor will explain the history behind cob houses and his experiences building them at The White Hart pub at 7.30pm on May 1.
