from its style (Fig. 1521), was probably erected by him about the
beginning of the seventeenth century. The upper floor is reached by a
projecting octagonal stair turret on the north side. The interior of the
walls of the principal room on the first floor (Fig. 1522) is built with
ashlar work, and the walls are divided into moulded panels in stone work
and a stone cornice runs round the room.
A wide aperture in the east wall of the room opens into the church at a
high level, and no doubt gave access to a gallery at the west end. The
belfry is placed on the west gable of this room and still contains a
small bell, the chain for ringing which has cut a deep groove in the
wall outside. The small room at the south-west angle contains a
fireplace. There has been another gallery at the east end of the church.
The outside staircase for access to it still remains. A good monumental
slab is built into the north wall of the church, bearing date 1540.
