Kitchen Range at Pockerley Old Hall, Beamish Museum

The kitchen at Pockerley Old Hall in the Beamish open-air museum, County Durham, with a black cast-iron range set into a large fireplace and a scrubbed table.

Pockerley Old Hall is presented as a farmhouse of the early 19th century. Its kitchen centers on a cast-iron range set into a large fireplace opening, with a mantel shelf above and utensils hanging nearby. It is an authentic precedent for a range alcove: the range is framed by masonry and a shelf rather than by cabinets, giving it the presence of a hearth. A modern hood cover and mantel shelf can recreate this look over a contemporary range.
