North Porch outside
One of the corbels inside North Porch.
One of the side doors inside North Porch. Beyond this door is a spiral staircase to the upper level.
Part of the original building, this area has undergone a number of changes. During the 16th century the two unusual drum towers were added, possibly coming from Moulton Castle. Until 1811 there was a parvise (upper room) which housed the Farmer Free School. Notice the two side doors and the corbels (small blocks of stones projecting from the wall) which are the remaining evidence of the room where local antiquarian, William Stukeley, was educated and left his mark by a carving in the wall.
