As it stood in 1190

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, rectangular medieval stone hall of warm golden-brown limestone with a very steep pitched roof clad in stone tiles; the long south façade has a central arched doorway set within a shallow porch and several paired narrow windows, plus three small dormer windows set into the roof. The east gable end is tall and plain with a single tall, narrow gable window near the apex and buttressed lower walls. The hall sits directly beside a church spire and faces a broad grassed town green.
