Description
Wall plaster was removed from a large area of the interior and the timbers recorded. Service and foundation trenches were examined. It was found that the 14the century western cross-wing had originally formed the eastern wing of a 14th century hall, since demolished. The surviving wing had been extended at the rear and incorporated into the present building of 1520. The first floor of the central hall was shown to be an insertion and a number of blocked doorways and windows were uncovered.
