ridge stacks. Hall and cross-wing plan; hall part of probably two framed
bays aligned east/west with central inserted chimney and cross-wing of three
bays situated at west end. Two storeys. Framing: hall part has two rows of
square panels at first floor level. No trusses visible externally. North

casements, a C20 canted bay window with a lean-to roof, a 2-light casement
with a cambered brick head and the main entrance which has a ledged and
battened door and a plank weathering and continues above the adjacent window.
Most windows have leaded lights. Cross-wing gable end has a first floor cross-

traceried panelling and a pendant finial. West side of cross-wing (facing HIGH

roof construction with chamfered tie-beams recorded to have survived. The
cross-wing was originally of four bays. The hall range retains some swept
braces. There is also a little C17 panelling. (RCHM, III, p 55, item 29).
