At right angles on the left is a short wing, to which are 
added modern farm buildings. In this left wing is a door, over 
which is a stone with this inscription, 
This stone was set by

The day of Coronation

So we see the house was occupied by people who added to it. 
The wall, in which is this door and inscription, is later than 
the West wall of house and would have come up against one of 
the mullions of the long window, and so has been bevelled off 
in order to allow room for the last light. 
As one goes through the house, one sees an opening in the 
middle, a kind of well, hardly large enough to be called more 
than an area. The four roofs slope down to this, and at present. 
part of the opening is covered in for the sake of passage room. 
On the South side of the North roof projecting into this 
opening is a large chimney stack, which looks as if it might 
have been the big fireplace chimney of the hall in earlier days. 
As one enters, there is a room on the left to which the long 
window belongs ; in one corner of this room is a fixed corner 
cupboard of two stages, with doors and shelves. To the right of 
the entrance passage, is a more important room, with a window 
to the South. This room is interesting as its present state shows 
something of the course of its development. 
About the early part of last century, or even earlier, oak 
panelling was put up, larger panels above the dado, and smaller 
below it, the size varies according to the space, the moulding 
being what is so often seen, laid on at the joinings of the panels. 
The woodwork is much dilapidated and some of it is gone, but 
its very decay has had a useful result, as far as we are concerned,
