bays to east and demolished bay or cross-wing to south; the
arcade plates and unjowled posts survive with evidence of
passing braces and one truncated brace in north-west post. Late
C16 inserted floors and stack. Single storey extension to west,
late C18 or early C19, replaces one bay or cross-wing to the
aisled hall. (The brace to north-west post suggests a
continuation of the arcade as an internal wall to an enclosed
part of the aisle or cross-wing). North elevation; tall gabled
