The pantry is connected via a trapdoor to the kitchen below, but the
stairs / ladder that once led down to the kitchen was removed by Dr WF
Purcell during the restoration of the house. Imagine this room around
1800, packed with cream-coloured Staffordshire tableware, as well as
blue and white porcelain from the East. In addition, perhaps,
martavaans filled with pickles, preserves and the like, wooden bins
containing grains and flour, and strings of onions hanging from the
roof.
