Commentary
The 5 central sections of the upper end S wall between the vertical studs have vestiges of a 15th c. wall painting, with visible figures of the Crucifixion and coats of arms (some royal, some uncertain).

The stone flag floor is probably late 19th c. and the dais (not pictured) is modern.
