Abstract: |
The kitchen and scullery block of Biggin Hall is of two phases, post-1822 certainly, but most likely of c1852-5 and extended and overhauled in the period c1902-14. Most fixtures and fittings relate to this overhaul on stratigraphic grounds, after which the collection of work-tops, cupboards and dressers, of 18th- to late 19th-century dates were assembled in the kitchen from various unknown locations. A related stair in a servants' access provided a route for kitchen staff to get fuel from stores below. An adjacent servery is today a larder. The kitchen/scullery went out of use in the middle decades of the 20th century, when the kitchen function moved to its current location. |
