through-passage doorway. Plank door direct into lower end.

headrail survives. Hall joists apparently replaced in C20. Cranked heads to
chamfered door surrounds to doorway from hall into service range and to blocked rear
through passage doorway. Rough chamfered cross ceiling beam to upper end with bread
oven to inserted fireplace. Wide chamfered cross ceiling beams with pyramid stops
