West aspect. The north range, of 8 bays, is late Norman circa 1180 built of Carr stone rubble with Barnack stone dressings. Originally it was probably used as a granary. In the C14 it was considerably altered when it became the guest quarters and an upper storey was inserted (in the northern half). The front is divided by flat pilasters weathered on top and some with original gargoyles, The northern part has a trefoil arched corbel table on the west side. (Photo Aug 2003).
