The cross-wing now containing No.15 has the cross- passage entrance; part of the 2-centred arched front door remains, blocked. Plain framing and coupled-rafter roof. A large C16/C17 open fireplace was inserted into the hall, backing onto the cross-passage; an upper floor was also inserted into the hall in C17.
