"The garden fronts face the south and east, and were modern- 

 ised by the last Mr. Brodrepp. Happily the highly picturesque 

 entrance front which faces the north escaped this process" 

 (Hutchins). At the south-east corner of the present building, 

 and which hardly seems part of its plan, there are rooms of which 

 the stone work is of an old character. A large arched room, 

 made either for cellarage or to raise the ground floor to the level 

 of the terrace, forms the basis of this part of the buildings. 

 These rooms may have been outbuildings, or they may be part of 

 a house still older than the Morgan's house. They are united to 

 the present house by modern brickwork. In one of the rooms, 

 built into the wall, is part seemingly of the under portion of a 

 large mantelpiece, carved with a cable pattern. 



Further north, or between the east windows of the drawing 

 room and the edge t)f the terrace, old foundations were found 

 some years ago when an asphalt path was being laid down. They 

 may have been the foundations of an older house or of a w r all 

 running originally along the edge of the terrace : but this is mere 

 conjecture.
