These records, of three gentry families from east, west and south
Devon, are remarkable for their richness and diversity and provide
a unique insight into seventeenth-century life. They illustrate
every aspect of the running of the household including the duties
of the servants, payments to visiting musicians, purchases of
clothing, building accounts and consumption of provisions. In
particular the volume includes the kitchen account for Sydenham
detailingthe gentry diet, including the importing of wine, the
making of venison, woodcock, salmon, quince, lumber and turkey
pies, and the purchase of all provisions. The seasons of the year
are clearly seen in the accounts including lists of guests for
meals at Christmas through Twelfth Night.
