tiles. L-plan, with single-span wings extending to N and E. Axial stack in N
wing, internal stack at junction against S elevation, C19 internal stack further

double butt-purlin roof. It was built 1621-3 by Sir Martin Lomelin or Lumley,
who became Lord Mayor of London in 1623, as the service range of a house which
stood further to the S, demolished c.1729. RCHM 3.
