It never really struck me before but how did they get a view of the three/four in the furnace?
I assume it was a viewing window to assess the process of lime making?
John Gill suggests it was a furnace such as was used to make lime. Would this have had steps cut in to climb down and remove the lime once the fire was out?
I also note that they were wearing hats! were these turbans or the Jewish marmulk (marmalade?)
