Dining Room
A dining room is a room for consuming food. In modern times it is usually next to the kitchen for convenience in serving, though in medieval times it was often on an entirely different floor level. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and several dining chairs. The most common shape is generally rectangular with two armed end chairs and an even number of unarmed side chairs on the long sides. History In the Middle Ages, Britons and other European nobility in castles or large manor houses dined in the great hall. This was a large multi-function room capable of seating the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a raised dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of diminishing rank away from them. Tables in the great hall would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall meant it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions th ...

Keeping Room
A keeping room is a room or informal living space adjacent to a kitchen where family and guests can gather while meals are being prepared. History Keeping rooms have their origins in the 18th-century colonial United States, when they were also known as "hearth rooms". They allowed family members to enjoy the heat of the fireplace—the warmest area in the house—while staying out of the cook's way. Keeping rooms were areas for family members to sew, do household chores, read, play games, or simply stay warm during winter. They first appeared in New England, but were also featured in homes in the Southern United States. In recent years, keeping rooms have experienced a revival in new home construction. Due to the modern availability of central heating, keeping rooms' purpose has shifted to focus more on entertaining and socializing. Design Keeping rooms are considered distinct from dens and family rooms in that dens are secluded areas, while family rooms are not necessari ...

Medieval Kitchen
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, similarly to the post-classical period of World history (field), global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period.

Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralised authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the ...
