Floor of older section possibly inserted with stack; floor of later section inserted in later 17th century. Attic floors inserted, firstly in older section and much later in newer section.

Second visit after roof of building destroyed by fire. On this occasion, small wing examined that was not seen in 1976, shown to be of 17th century date.
(S4).
E. Rose (NLA), 20 February 2006.
However the agent states that the small wing dates from 1985 and was made from reused timbers. This would be very surprising.
