The stone kitchen on the Hamnett Kirkes Estate was built with the original house in 1820. They were connected by a wooden passage. The passage most likely functioned as a pantry of possibly a privy.
The stone kitchen was enlarged in preparation for Hamnett's son Horace and his new wife Kate taking possession in 1847. In 1978 the stone kitchen ruins were stabilized and the fireplace restored.
