Interior: ground-floor ceiling frame in northern-most 2 bays of eastern range with ovolo-moulded cross beams, closely spaced ovolo-moulded joists, and central carved boss consisting of a grotesque mask with dragons at each corner. Dining room has deeply-chamfered cross-beam ceil- ing with large broach stops, and C17 panelling. Some reused C17 panelling in hall. Old panelled and boarded doors.
