Revealed sash windows, squat on 2nd floor, some retaining glazing bars. All have
block sills and moulded friezes flanked by consoles supporting thin cornices.
Central waggon and occupying 2 bays, segmental arch flanked by pilasters with large
console brackets to panelled frieze, projecting cornice surmounted by swept end
pedestal for Royal Arms of 1801-37 type, a lively polychrome composition set
against a trophy of small arms, poles, trumpets and flags - probably of Coade stone.

pilasters, the curvilinear fronts panelled, supporting sections of entablature
with cartouche panels and moulded cornice over. Early and unaltered example of
