The North West End
This part of the house was almost certainly built at the early part of the
16th century using Lady Margaret's endowment. Although the facing wall is
now brick clad, the wooden frame is exposed and consistent with the construction
of most of the 16th century part of the house.

The Second 15th Century House - Now our small sitting room
Some debate exists as to whether this is an original house on the site at the
time Lady Margaret acquired the Manor in 1504/06 or whether this was part of the
later 16th Century construction. We prefer the former explanation and
believe the state of repair and style of construction bears this out.

|
|
|
Possibly dating from the same time as the Study, ie early 15th Century, this part of the house was in a parlous state of repair
