Hello Folks,

old Stone cottage walls 3 foot thick. Front wall left standing. The consistency of the other walls which we took down was basically just stone stacked together with dry clay between.
Looking to do timber frame for new walls. Would anyone have ideas or suggestions for securing this old stone wall to my timber frame? Or indeed securing it to any type of new wall?

Thanks in advance.

Leave enough of the old side walls running from ground level to full height to support the wall you are keeping and make your timber self supporting. Cap off the side walls and make them a feature.
