A dining room is a room for ingesting meat. In modern times it is usually adjacent to the kitchen for convenience in providing, although in medieval times it was often on an entirely different storey grade. 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 aim chairs and an even number of un-armed side chairs along the long backs .

History

In the Middle Ages, upper class Britons and other European aristocracy in castles or huge manor house dined in the largest vestibule. This was a large multi-function room capable of seat the bulk of the population of the house. The family would sit at the head table on a conjured dais, with the rest of the population arrayed in order of lessening rank away from them. Tables in the largest passageway would tend to be long trestle tables with benches. The sheer number of people in a Great Hall mean it would probably have had a busy, bustling atmosphere. Suggestions that it would also have been quite smelly and smoky are probably, by the standards of the time, unfounded. These rooms had large-scale chimneys and high-pitched ceilings and there would have been a free pour of breath through the several doorway and window openings .

It is no doubt that the owners of such belongings began to develop a delicacy for more intimate gleans in smaller' parlers' or' privee parlers' off the main hall but this is thought to be due just as much to political and social changes as to the greater comfort is guaranteed by such rooms. In the first instance, the Black Death that ravaged Europe in the 14 th Century caused a shortage of labour and this had led to a dislocation in the feudal system. Also the religion mistreatments after the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII stirred it unwise to talk freely in front of large volumes of people .

Over time, the aristocracy took more of their banquets in the parlour, and the parlor became, functionally, a dining room( or was split into two detached chambers ). It also moved 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 primarily on special occasions .

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