A pair of arch-headed doorways lead from the cross-passage into the service rooms, one of which was unlit and probably used for storage, also acting as a lobby into the kitchen beyond to left. The kitchen fireplace, rebuilt C17 and later, occupied the gable end wall to left. Good close-studded framing throughout, well-exposed internally. A screen inserted into the crosspassage C16 (now missing), with gallery above and access formed from service end. Full 1st floor structure inserted into hall C17. Converted to workhouse C18.
