In volume 28 of Vernacular Architecture David and Barbara Martin identified a group of buildings in eastern Sussex that they interpreted as detached kitchens. Anything from two to four bays long, with at least two ground-floor rooms and two or more upper chambers, they 'closely resemble small houses.' It is often their location, close to the rear of a main house of more standard layout, which indicates the true function of these buildings. 'After houses and barns, detached kitchens were once the most common building type present in the landscape of south-east England ...' The authors suggested that surviving kitchens are likely to be the larger examples of their kind, and that many that have been lost were no more than single-story one-room outhouses. The cited examples were believed to date between 1450 and 1550
