Synopsis
Excerpt from Wiltshire Notes and Queries, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Quarterly Antiquarian Genealogical Magazine, 1893-1895
The Banqueting Hall was a room 40 feet by 20 feet, and 20 feet high, entered from the richly groined Porch. The Screen was similar to that at Haddon Hall. Unfortunately, this Hall has been cut up into rooms, and the screens and gallery destroyed. As will be seen by the illustration, the Guest Chamber behind the eastern oriel window has been pulled down, and the whole interior of what is left has been modernised to suit the requirements of a farmhouse. The house is surrounded by a moat. The two oriels are very beautiful, and give a dignified appearance to what is generally a reposeful design.
