Do I need to put building paper for a timber frame behind stone wall?

Posted by B T, on
Renovating a house that has 800mm thick walls. Wanting to put internal timber frames and studwork inside the building. I have a Tyvek breathable membrane that will be added to the warm side of the walls and framing. Do I need a building paper or another membrane for the cold side of the frame that faces the stone walls? There will be a 10mm gap between the frames and the stone walls. The stone walls are dry and no penetrating dampness has been observed.
