When we first bought the barn we found a very heavy cast iron front from an old french bread baking oven. We kept it!! We have now hoisted it up and set it in one of the walls where the kitchen will be. In due course the cooker hob or range will go in front of it and it will be painted with a tiled shelf inside and - we hope - make quite a feature in the kitchen. And remind us of the state of things when we first got here.
