    I like the oven over the top…I’m guessing that’s what that ‘cupboard’ is!

      Hi, CathThe doors at the top are actually part of the rotisserie set up. When they want to cook a large piece of meat on the rotisserie (the chains and cogs you can see), they open the doors, behind which are some vanes on a large cross mounted pole. This causes more air to go over the vanes which turns the pole, and then via a series of cogs and chains turn the rotisserie

    That’s one of those enormous old fireplaces built for serious cooking! I always wonder whether they drew well. We had a large fireplace in our first house (not this large, but a nice size) and it only drew well when the fire was blazing away. After that, it tended to get smoke in the house, so we had a wood-burning stove inserted and that worked wonderfully.
