which rises in 4 flights around 3 sides of the oblong stair hall.
It has large square rusticated newels with obelisk finials

gallery balustrade has a panelled base which is ornamented at
ceiling level with strapwork. The left hand room has full height
early C17 oak panelling sub-divided by Ionic pilasters. The
dentillated frieze has strapwork and bead design. The chimney
piece has single flanking Doric columns with zigzag to the
capitals, the mantle is surmounted by 2 eared and shouldered

plainer but having a pair of perspective styled arches on the
panels. It is possible that the house was built for the
financier, Sir Ralph Maddestone, known to have held Grimblethorpe
at the end of the C16.
