the thatch. 4 windows and central door on ground floor, single window to each
elevation in the attic; 3- and 2-light casements with depressed ogee headed
tracery and diamond and square lead glazing patterns. Central door with
depressed ogee headed tracery; two taller timber uprights of the pentice form a

Wright's most important works for the 4th Duke of Beaufort in the period 1748-1756.
