It was a very grey day and the building looked very sad
The main hall (below) looked very different from its original state as seen above during the First World War
But the majority of the fittings had been protected during the time the building spent as a school
In an adjacent room this fireplace has been uncovered – the two enlargements on the right reveal the detail in the decoration. I finished up my visit by taking some photographs from the upstairs windows, looking out to the front and rear of the building. You can see what a dull day it was, but it would be much nicer on my next visit!
