lights. This central bay is flanked to the left by a gabled two-storey and
attic canted bay with central pointed arched head to attic window and square
headed openings flanking central pointed window with glazing bar sash windows,
plain sash windows to the ground floor; further to the left is a gabled bay
with a pair of decorative pointed windows to the attic and two square headed

there are also two fine C17 overmantels. (RCHM, Vol III, p 191; BoE, p 300).
