In 1840, the meal between lunch and dinner was given a name: "Tea"!
"Tea" can be as light or as heavy a refreshment or snack as you want it to be. "Afternoon tea" is taken at around 4-5 PM and usually consists of lite sandwiches and desserts. "High tea" is taken at around 6 PM. A "High tea" serves a more robust selection of food and desserts and may be filling enough to make dinner unnecessary, (nothing dainty, usually very filling).
HISTORY
Tea came from China to England sometimes between 1653-1658. Charles II brought it in fashion in 1660. By the eighteenth century tea became a national passion. Taxed highly, tea was smuggled to avoid taxes. The practice of taking tea traveled to the colonies in America. Tea was taken at breakfast and after dinner.
In 1840, Anna, 7th Duchess of Bedford, asked for a tray of tea, bread and butter, and cake to be brought to her at about 4 PM in the afternoon.
It became a habit which spread among her friends and others. In the 1800's ladies dressed for the occasion, elaborate services were made just for the occasion, food became more elaborate. Shops opened in 1864, serving tea and cakes. Afternoon tea is still practiced by some and is a pleasant way to converse and spend an afternoon with friends.
Gentlemen wanted more robust fair, and a "high tea" was popular in some of the establishments in which they spent time and money.
Lunch & dinner is usually the North American term and in between a snack. The UK would refer to dinner about 12:00 noon, tea about 4-5 pm and supper about 8 pm.
