wing. Main range has internal stack with original square shaft and C19 cap.
Later internal stack in wing. Interior. Cross-wing is fragment of high

to the west. Former outside wall against main range has heavy close studding
with sill of oriel window and an upper window with plain mullions set square.
Central tie beam retains one solid brace with carved spandrel containing a
shield, originally painted. The cambered upper ceiling is apparently original
