About this book
The Growth of the English House considers Kenilworth Castle as a place of strength with features of interest for domestic architecture. The discussion uses Kenilworth Castle to illuminate the progress of domestic architecture through some four centuries. The examination of the fortified enclosure sets aside walls, towers, gateways, ditches, moat and lake as defences, and concentrates on the inner or upper ward.
A discussion of architectural proportions describes matching wings whose functions differ, with a kitchen in one and stables in the other. The account traces the growth of the kitchen into a servants' wing divided into a scullery, larders, pantry, and further spaces.
