drip moulds in places. On the east front is a 3-storeyed projecting porch
with an outer 4-centre-headed stone doorway with a defaced panel above it.
Above the doorway within the porch is the date 1647 and it has moulded wood
jambs and a 4-centre-headed arch in a square head with shields in the spandrels.
On the west side are 2 projecting cement-faced stacks with brick shafts.
An 1821 drawing by Buckler shows that in the West side was a pointed medieval
arched doorway, this, one of the original gateways to the Blackfriars with
its postern, was re-discovered during the recent restoration. 1967-8.
