Commentary
The ornate Elizabethan oak screen at the low end of the hall before World War II. The screen had 5 bays divided by Ionic columns, with reclining caryatids in the spandrels. It was dismantled in 1941 just before the bombing and reassembled after the war. 2 doors in the screen lead to adjacent rooms.
