Making sense of Detached Kitchens

Over twenty years ago David and Barbara Martin began a debate on the nature and uses of detached kitchens. This article revisits the question but focuses on the archival evidence of two very detailed estate surveys from seventeenth-century Wiltshire to look at what they can tell us about the numbers of detached kitchens surviving at that time and their size and relationship to other domestic outbuildings. It also relates the evidence of rebuilding and the insertion of upper floors to houses to the survival of detached kitchens, showing that such structures were found with both large and small houses, and with both modernised and unmodernised dwellings
