Above, between these circles, are seven small shields, with these arms:
DEINCOURT, DRIBY, CROMWELL, one broken, CROMWELL, TATESHALL, and
DEINCOURT; and below seven purses.
The two upper stories also contain ornamented chimney pieces, but they
are inferior to those described.
From the top of the castle is a very extensive view of the surrounding
country.

Between the castle and the church stands an ancient brick building,
which, from the stile of architecture, appears to be coeval with the
castle, and is now inhabited. On the west of the castle is another
remain, apparently of the same date. Each of these buildings is situated
between the outer and inner fosse.
The principal entrance to the castle, with its portcullis and towers, was
standing at the north-east corner of the enclosure, when Buck made his
drawing in 1726.
