casement windows on each floor, and large internal chimney near middle
of house. Flush casement windows renewed. Middle 2 bays built as hall
open to roof, end bays always of 2 storeys. Lack of smoke blackening in
roofs indicates a former timber framed chimney. W bay had pantry,

joists in floor inserted in hall and wall paintings in hall and parlour
point to C16 date. Those on E wall of hall were of 3/4 female figures
