This article appears in Volume V20, Page 686 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANTRY (O. Fr. paneterie; Med. Lat. panetaria, a bread-shop, from panis, bread) , originally a room in a
house
  used for the storage of bread, hence " panter " or " pantler," an officer of a
household
  in charge of the bread and stores. In the royal
house
 -hold of England the office was merged in that of butler. At coronations the office of " panneter " was held by the lord of the manor of Kibworth
Beauchamp
 ; it was his duty to carry the
salt
 -cellar and carving-knives to the royal table, and he kept these as his fee. The last holder of the office was
Ambrose
  Dudley, son of John, duke of Northumberland, at Elizabeth's
coronation
 . At his death the manor reverted to the Crown. " Pantry " was early widened in meaning to include a room in a house used for the storing of all kinds of food, and is now restricted to the butler's or parlourmaid's room, where
plate
 ,
china
 , glass, &c., for. the use of the table is kept, and duties in connexion with the serving of the table are performed.
