Kitchen Oven
This semi-circular oven was built into the kitchen wall and would therefore have been visible from outside of
the manor house. It would have been used for a variety of cooking techniques, although, using a wood fire, the
results must have been quite unpredictable. We don’t know exactly how the oven at Thrislington worked – it may
have had doors to keep the heat in once the fire and ashes had been raked out, or it may have had an open front
as shown.
From here you can explore how to grind corn to make bread or return to
the kitchen reconstruction.
