Certainly a lot of peasant homes were made this way, but so were a lot of nicer buildings, both in cities and towns and in the countryside. Churches were made this way, and according to writers shortly after Augustine of Canterbury's mission to the Saxons, the oldest church in Britain was made of wattle and daub on a wooden frame.
A lot of buildings, both of the very poor and the very wealthy, were built of stone. And in certain periods, many buildings, even castles, were made of fired brick. There was a lot of variation. But I would say almost anything but a castle or the palace of a king could have used wattle and daub in its construction.

Wattle and daub houses
Medieval bricks. Wooden base, covered by rocks.
Under canvas, then wattle and daub huts.
A bird's wattle is usually red. A wattle can be a tree with green leaves and gold or yellow flowers. Wattle can also consist of thing branches or twigs woven together to be put in the wall of a building and covered with mud called daub. This was used in the Middle Ages.
Yes, they were wattle-and-daub structures with thatched roofs. The windows were made of paper or fabric rubbed with fat. Oiling the fabric allowed light to pass through it better.
Yes, wattle and daub construction was popular in Celtic times. It involves weaving branches (wattle) together and then plastering them with a mixture of mud, clay, and straw (daub) to create walls for buildings. This method was commonly used due to its availability of materials and durability.
Wattle and daub structures involved the "wattling", or weaving, of branches and twigs to make a frame for a wall. Daub was a mixture of mud, straw and/or animal fat which was then applied, or "daubed" onto the walls, into the gaps, to seal the wall against the elements. Wattle and daub structures were common from medieval times through to American colonial and Australian colonial times.

The size of a wattle and daub house varied, but they were typically small to medium in size. These houses were built using a framework of woven branches (wattle) covered with a mixture of mud, clay, straw, and sometimes dung (daub). They were common in medieval Europe and other parts of the world.
First tents, then wattle and daub huts, then stone buildings as the colony developed.
