A dining room is a room for ingesting food. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in serving, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different storey degree. Historically the dining room is furnished with a rather large dining table and a number of dining chairs; the more common shape is generally rectangular with two armed point chairs and an even number of un-armed back chairs along the long backs .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European aristocracy in palaces or huge manor houses dined in the largest foyer. This was a large multi-function chamber capable of seat the bulk of the population of the house. The clas would sit at the head table on a developed dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of decreasing grade away from them. Tables in the largest corridor would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall necessitate it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Propositions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had huge chimneys and high-pitched ceilings and there would have been a free flowing of breath through the numerous entrance and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such properties began to develop a taste for more intimate meets in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due as much to political and social changes as to the greater solace is guaranteed by such chambers. In the first instance, the Black Death that ruined Europe in the 14 th Century made a shortage of labor and this had led to a dislocation in the feudal system. Likewise the religion persecutions after the dissolution of the convents under Henry VIII stirred it unwise to talk freely in front of large numbers of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their snacks in the parlor, and the parlor became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two separate rooms ). It also migrated farther from the Great Hall, often accessed via grand ceremonial staircases from the dais in the Great Hall. Eventually dining in the Great Hall became something that was done mainly on special moments .

Toward the beginning of the 18 th Century, a motif emerged where the ladies of the members of this house would recede after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room. The gentlemen would remain in the dining room having sips. The dining room tended to take on a more masculine tenor as a result .
