Visiting Blundells' Cottage
Choosing the site of the national capital
Cooking was generally done over an open fire or on a wood stove. This was also the only way to warm the house and fireplaces were a central point of family life. The wooden shelf above the fireplace is called a 'mantelpiece'. Photos of the Blundell family take pride of place on this in the parlour at the cottage.
