Why did the walls in a traditional masonry bearing wall structure need to be so thick?
What do you mean by 'masonry beariing wall'. A wall can be made of masonry. The part of a building which is weight bearing, is the foundation. What do you mean by thick Iowl der. Masonry walls are usually 10 cm thick, because this was thought to be a very practical thickness if building brick walls about 2&1/2 Metre high. Any thinner, and it would be unstable and fall down. Foundations are made about 45 cm thick so as to distribute the load of the masonry wall evenly over a large area. This reduces the worry that the wall may sink or drop, and allow the walls to collapse .

Difference between load bearing and non-load bearing walls?
Non-load-bearing walls support only themselves; they are interior partition walls. They have a single top plate. While non-load-bearing walls might run perpendicular to floor and ceiling joists, they will not be aligned above support beams. As the name implies, load-bearing walls carry the structural weight of your home. Load-bearing walls in platform-frame homes will have double top plates. That is, two layers of framing lumber. Note: all exterior walls are load bearing; I got this from another site.

In old buildings (older than 100 years) the walls might be 3 inches thick or just clapboards and are the thickness of the wood (excluding studs). Brick walls can be anywhere between 6-12 inches depending on the load they bear.

Load bearing and non load bearing wall?
LOAD BEARING WALLS Walls that must support the dead load of their own weight and the weight of subsequent bearing structural members placed upon them. In addition, load bearing walls must be capable to carry the load of "live" loads that are anticpated to be placed upon the the system without deflection that can degrade or negatively impact structural intergrity. NON LOAD BEARING Walls that are only intended to support themselves and the weight of the cladding or sheathings attached. Non load bearing walls provide no structural support and may be interior or exterior walls. Non load bearing walls must be braced to resist minimum 5 psf lateral loads.
