The entrance can be seen towards the right of the picture, via a bridge across a moat and into a gatehouse (none of which could possibly have served any defensive purpose!) and through to a courtyard. Here is a picture of the coutyard, seen from near the gatehouse.
The carpenter who built this part of the hall left his name on the work. There was no standard spelling in the Tudor period.
These two improving messages can be seen at either end of the Long Gallery. Note that all the letter Ns are back to front!
Unfortunately the house contains hardly any furniture or pictures. It is now owned by the National Trust.
