The blocked window in the apex of the gable now bears a plaque relating to the restoration in 1998.

Photographs in file show that there were originally tall I-slits in the side walls of which at least one remains, others are blocked.
E. Rose (NLA), 10 June 2003.

Evidence supplied by North Norfolk District Council states that the open slit window is a modern reproduction, and may be removed by further alterations. The blocked slits however are original.
