That's the same way that indigenous Britons built their's. In Ethiopia I went for a long walk one day and came upon a man and his family re-roofing their thatched tukul (https://www.flickr.com/photos/kolfekeranyo/2969327740/). He asked me to buy him a tin roof, which I declined.

The overhanging thatched roofs keep the walls dry so they are actually quite durable. When brick construction with minimal overhang corrugated iron roofs took over, many still used mud rather than cement for building. The consequences were often disastrous because driving rain leached out the mud & the whole hut collapsed.
