Timber framed structures are buildings that use vertical timber posts and horizontal timber beams, typically larger than 4 inches by 4 inches, with sloping wood beams to form the structural skeleton of the building. Typical beam sizes are 8x8 posts, 8x10 girts, 6x8 purlins, 6x8 joints, 4x6 braces, etc. Although any of the beams can range in size from 4x4 to 10x24 or larger.
Timber frame structures are often enclosed with super insulating pre-stressed panels called SIP's (Structural Insulating Panels). Windows and doors are cut into the SIPS, and a house, barn, church or commercial building is formed.

Can you install cavity wall insulation in timber framed houses?
It all depends on the wall construction. Timber frames can have conventionally framed 2x walls or SIP (structural insulated panel) walls. If the walls are made up of normal 2x4 or 2x6 studs, insulation can be installed or replaced in between the studs. If the walls are SIP's the insulation is already there. To see a typical timber frame SIP wall configuration, see the link below.

Difference between load bearing wall and framed structure?
Load bearing structures are structures where the loads are transferred to the foundation via load bearing walls(external and internal). These type of structures have a smaller window to walls ratio. Since the loads are borne by the walls the height of walls are limited. Framed structures are structures where the loads are transferred to the foundation via beams and columns. So beams and columns play a major role here. The loads in floor is transferred to the beams and then columns. These type structures can have large open areas in the walls. These type of structures can be adapted in high-rise buildings.
