KITCHEN

The Kitchen, is a much larger space, with another inglenook fireplace and a beautiful bake oven. It is a simple, sociable space, with light from both sides, open joisted ceiling and a staircase, inserted at a later date. We know this because the existing joist was split to give sufficient headroom … though we still knock our heads on it ... The dark beams are charred: we believe that a severe fire may have occurred at some stage.



MEETING ROOM

In Quaker houses of this era, ornate joinery featured only in special locations. Here, it highlights the cupboard reserved to store the minutes of Meetings. The Friends were meticulous record keepers. Many of these heritage documents are archived at the Quaker Library in Dublin. This room has been much altered, yet retains a gentle elegance and today functions as our Living Room.
