The historical upheavals experienced in England during the 1600s, under the monarchy of Charles II, had a tremendous effect on the ordinary person’s domestic life. With the increasing affluence of the upper classes, which enabled them to spend more time and money on travel, recreation and luxury goods, some of this way of living filtered down to the peasant classes.

Travelling and Sampling Different Food

Changes in eating were due to the aristocrats being able to travel more instead of living throughout the year on their estates, some of which had huge acreage. . Visits to the larger towns using the new-fangles coaches, and spending longer periods in London, Bath and Winchester, meeting more cosmopolitan people and particularly allowing their families – particularly daughters – to acquire the current social graces, changed their traditional way of eating and drinking.

During the 1620s, proclamations ordered the gentry to return to their estates to prevent the neglect of public duties, avoidance of tax and the heavy expenditure on foreign luxuries and expensive food had their effect. However, lavish entertainment flourished during the London Season for those able to afford it, as the 'Great Wen' continued to develop as the finest food market in the kingdom.
