Where are cob buildings found?
A. Cob buildings are found throughout the world except perhaps in the Americas. In the UK the strongest tradition of cob building is in the South West, particularly in Devon where many thousands of cob houses and farm buildings survive dating from the 14th century to the later 19th century. Cumberland also had an ancient tradition of cob building. Throughout the rest of the UK cob buildings are less common but are also to be found alongside other vernacular building techniques.
