Hob Grates

A hob grate is a type of small cast iron fireplace that first came into fashion in the Georgian period.

This particular style of fire was integral to the lifestyles of most people living in this era.

The fireplace is named a hob grate as the fire has flat castings or "hobs" on either side of the fire, these would have been used to warm water and to cook with.

Fireplaces of this type were traditionally built directly into the brickwork of a chimney and then a timber surround would frame the chimney opening.
