granite column with moulded cap and base ; C20 glazed sides. The inner door is C19,
2-panelled with overlight. The porch was raised in height circa mid C19, with a flat

floor to right two 6-pane sashes with brick segmental arches to right and left.

floor to left. To left is a straight joint to the rear wing; this is 2-storey, with
