Most of the internal doors in the house are late C17 with strap hinges, some have applied mouldings, for example the east of 2 doors in south wall of hall, both within moulded frames. There are some stud-and-plank partitions upstairs at the stairhead, but mostly reset in C19 and C20. Dated quoins on south-west and north-east corners of south wing: "WP/ 1665". WP stands for William Prosser, a London coachmaker who bought the estate in about 1655. He died in this house in 1674. This is an excellent example of a late C17 house, with a high degree of survival of original fittings. (Hereford and Worcester County Record Office F94, particularly /II/ 108; RCHM 1, p 214, pl 192.)
