'The Hall- of which the exact size is not known, but which is suppose [sic] to have been able to accommodate between 200 and 300 people - "contained a spacious refectory or dining-hall painted green with a large fireplace, a large Chamber or Court Room, a "Chequer" Chamber for the financial business, and a Ladies' Chamber. The Hall had the usual raised dais [haut pas] for the High Table, which was at one time hung round with blue buckram, nine forms surrounding the table, a buffet, and a great cupboard. The Hall was strewn with rushes... Special mention is made of the chimneys.' (Girtin, Triple Crowns 50).
