A scullery was where pots, pans, dishes, bowls, jugs and cutlery were cleaned and stored and was usually adjacent to the kitchen. The term for a servant employed in the scullery was scullion, and these were more often boys and young men rather than girls and women - but no doubt there were at least some scullery maids to be found.

The Old French term escouillon is cleaning-cloth or dish--cloth. Scullions were considered the very lowest grade of servant.
