Cottage Interior

The open hearth shown here, traces of which were found during excavation, would have made the cottage hot and smoky, but was essential for cooking and heating water and the room itself. With the small windows and weak candlelight the only source of light, it would also have brightened up what must have been a gloomy interior.
