IotWW: 22. Summer Kitchen

Purpose / Function

  • In very hot weather, cooking which cannot be handled on an outside fire is done here. 
  • In winter, additional cooking is also done here, so the area is dry and warmer than the rest of the cellar. 
  • Scullions and menials sometimes sleep here. 
  • Various foodstuffs are stored in cupboards, as are extra plates, platters, etc.
