<p>The present invention is concerned with a wall vent for particular use in a cavity wall of a timber frame building, the vent comprising a tubular body having a circumferential flange at one end and a vented or meshed cover across said end, the flange being disposed at an angle to the body such that when the flange is seated flush against the outer surface of the cavity wall the tubular body slopes upwardly into the cavity to prevent the migration of rain or the like through the vent into the cavity.</p>
