ham-hung

Updated: May 29, 2025

For the kitchen, which was underneath the ground floor and nearly the entire size of the house, was therefore very spacious and comfortable, possessing three large pantries and an out-house or summer kitchen; besides, moreover, it was dark-raftered, ham-hung, with willow-pattern slates in a neat dresser, and peacock feathers over the high mantel; with, in one corner the darkest a covered well, into which I used to see myself the beautiful golden pats of butter lowered twice a week in summer time.
