House. Early/Mid C14 origin extensively altered for Sir William Capell late C15

The central C14 range with a long wall jetty now underbuilt. Roof arch braced

Rear stair tower may relate to this build. The extension to the north end with
crown post roof and collar purlins and the east chimney appear to date from some
time soon after 1486. C16 south wing probably built for Sir Gyles Capell.
Solid tread staircase. The west extension to the north end early C17,
presumably built during Henry Capell's residence 1614-1622. The rear
outbuilding may have been a medieval kitchen but was so altered C17 onwards,
that its age is uncertain. The hall in the centre range has heavy moulded
ceiling beams and above the fireplace are 5 brick arches with 4 centred heads.
The walls are lined with C16 linenfold panelling, other rooms lined with C17
panelling. C16 doorways with 4 centred heads, anchor badge of the Capells in
