The Tudor Kitchen, Pantry and Buttery

The Pantry and Buttery

Children's Library at The Master's House, Ledbury

The Pantry is now home to Age UK and the buttery is now the Children's Library.

The housekeeper would have kept food and ale under lock and key in these rooms.

The Kitchen

The main library at The Master's House, Ledbury

The Kitchen for the house and hospital, now the main library, was built slightly later than The Master's House, in around 1525.

Originally it was detached, to stop cooking fires spreading to the mansion. It was finally joined to The Master's House in around 1770.
