Left gable wall has single-light moulded-stone windows, and returns to 2-window

winder stairs rising to attics; bolection-mould grained panelled room; large

been originally in the return front, opening into the lobby in line with the
second winder stair. The present entrance hall was formerly a through passage.
Over the doorway is a plaque recording the birth there of John White (1575-1648)
"Chief founder of Massachusetts, New England".
