doorway in the east range. The font is inside the courtyard.
The walls are about 2 metres high, in large blocks of granite, partially rebuilt in
the C20 in the east range. The east range has a granite doorway, with 4-centred
arch, hollow-chamfered with roll-mouldings, jambs set on square bases without stops.
