asbestos slate elsewhere. On the outer side the round-arched
carriage entrance has been rebuilt in yellow brick with the

a brick dentil cornice; pyramidal roof now lacking its finial;

On the inner side, the carriage entrance has a keystone marked
with the Pelham buckle; the ground-floor openings are a
mixture of lunette windows and round- and segmental-arched
entrances, some now altered; there were segmental-arched
carriage entrances at the ends of the wings, both of which are
