sashes; similar sashes on first floor of bays 4, 5 and 6 in plain stone surrounds.
Sashes with glazing bars removed in first bay, and on first floor in second and

Roof divides to right of third window, that to right more steeply pitched; 3

balusters, halved on newels, and close string. Roof trusses where visible are
