The roof timbers,the staircase, and all internal partitions are modern, and the fireplace in the S. gable is blocked by a modern grate. Some original ground-floor joists and ceiling beams remain. The main S. cross beam and secondary beam have richly-moulded chamfers (Plate 59), with leaf-stops to the former; the N. cross-beam, originally against its chimney breast, indicates the thickness of the former N. gable. Below the roof are stone corbels which indicate that originally there were three trusses.
