Rear stair tower may relate to this build. The extension to the north end with
crown post roof and collar purlins and the east chimney appear to date from some
time soon after 1486. C16 south wing probably built for Sir Gyles Capell.

presumably built during Henry Capell's residence 1614-1622. The rear
outbuilding may have been a medieval kitchen but was so altered C17 onwards,
