'The house itself, that was to become the new Hall ... was entered by a great gate and a paved yard on the north side of which there was a low gallery ... "A great winding stair with glass bay windows" led into the hall which had a buttery, a pantry, and a cellar attached. A dark chamber with lattice windows looked down into the hall: there was a parlour with its own buttery and a jewel house; there was a kitchen, a pastry house, a scullery, and two larders; there was a coal house and a winding stair from the kitchen to the halll.' (Girtin, Triple Crowns 120).
