Information from (S1).

Seen only in passing by E. Rose (NLA) February 1998, but (S1) does not make clear that the blocked window in the south facade is large and central and actually cuts the string course. Is it a later loading door, or does it mark the site of a porch tower? Does the 1900 house which is aligned as a crosswing across the east end replace part of the original building?
