Description

The exact location of the window has not been identified, although it is thought that it is likely in a wall that faces onto the building's internal courtyard.

On the mount for this print the building is identified as the Sparrow House. The Sparrow family were owners of the Ancient House for over 200 years and were responsible for the addition of the pargetting in the 17th century.
