Description: | The Clerk was responsible for ordering stocks of food and drink, managing the kitchen staff and paying wages.The office was strategically positioned with two doorways, one that could see directly into the kitchen and the other into the servery. This way he could keep an eye on people in both areas.The office is furnished as it would have been in the 15th Century. The furniture is basic - a locked storage cupboard for the expensive herbs and spices used in cooking (the Clerk would be responsible for ensuring they were not misused) and to carry out his administrative tasks, a table and chair. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
