February 2008. Building survey.
The main range contains the first phase of the building. The window rebate on the south side of the building suggests that the hall was originally unfloored. There is evidence of a diamond mulliom window in the service bay. A ceiling was added to the hall in the early 17th century, and the wing was added shortly after. The chimney is dated 1628, which is consistent with the staggered purlin roof and the decoration to principle joists and fireplaces in the wing.
