The INTERIOR was not examined. It appears to be very
institutionalised with little early work surviving. It was
said to have a 2-storeyed Georgian galleried hall (listing of
1976). At the NE corner is a C20 red brick block not included
in the listing. Dytchleys and its outbuildings (qv) form a
group.
