Sven, that part of the house had only percheron horses and a few chickens since about 1830, when it was abandoned as a dwelling and used as a grange or barn. Built in 1669, so only tallow candles or oil lamps I'm afraid. However in my den in the "newer" part there is this old French ceramic 2 way tumbler-switch, still working. Notice someone has wired it into a two pin shuko receptacle at some time! Switch turns on and off with a lovely satisfying solid clunk! It's two-way to the second pic, a plasti-crap switch of unknown parentage.

The house is coming on now! Denise has tunneled through a 2 ft thick granite wall to link the two houses, and we have humped over two tons of rock outside, where it is helping to stop the crazy postman from crashing into the aircon unit. We now find the floor levels don't quite match - by over 3 feet! So now 'we' need a set of stairs!
