The alterations serve to enlarge the kitchen with the construction of a new east wall, creating a new room behind the range and allowing for the installation of the old, larger chimneypiece and range from the 'present' kitchen. A warm sepia wash and dashed lines show the area of the back kitchen before enlargement.
