That really depends on the specific time period within the medieval era. I have a detailed map of Canterbury High Street as it was in the year 1200, with all building plots marked and stone buildings emphasised - these are relatively few in number.
At that period parish churches were built of stone, a Jewish synagogue and its associated underground vault were of stone, the king's mill was of stone and some other vaults for the use of merchants were of stone; all the houses and craftsmen's workshops were of wood. Naturally the cathedral, the Archbishop's chambers and related buildings were of stone and the hospitals (that is, guest-houses) for pilgrims were also of stone.
In London, Lincoln and certain other major centres some of the houses of wealthy merchants were built of stone; some of these are known today as "Jews' houses" but this is probably post-medieval guesswork.
We know from fire regulations that the majority of homes in London were of wood, posing considerable fire risk.
If the town included a castle after the middle of the 12th century it was likely to be of stone.
