Description: | The floor that we see today is brick. Medieval bricks were all hand made and therefore very expensive so it is unlikely that it was originally paved in this way. The kitchen was a functional room. It is more likely that the original medieval floor was hard packed mud. The brick paving was probably introduced when the kitchen was rented out in the 18th century as a warehouse, the bricks offering a more durable surface. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
