At the upper end in the NE corner, an Elizabethan door leads into the great chamber in the adjacent 14th c. tower. A small pointed door in the N wall E of the window nearest the dais led to an external stairway leading to upper chambers. There were originally 3 doors at the lower W end connecting with the 3-storey solar tower. A pointed doorway at the NW corner leads to a stairway to the upper level. There were 2 similar doorways beside it, but 1 has been widened and raised.
