Slide 11. Very somber it was; long, vast, and dark; one latticed window lit it dimly - the wide old chimney contained now no fire, for the present warm weather needed it not; it was filled with willow boughs. The gallery on high opposite the entrance was seen but in outline, so shadowy became the hall towards its ceiling, carved stags heads with real antlers, looked down grotesquely from the walls. Within and without, it was rambling and incommodious .
Quoting again from 'Shirley' . . . . . .. 'The Parlour was lined with oak, fine, dark glossy panels compassed the walls, gloomily and grandly.Very handsome, reader, these shining brown panels are; very mellow in colouring and tasteful in effect, but - if you know what a Spring Clean is - very execrable and inhuman. Whoever, having the bowels of humanity, has seen servants scrubbing at these polished wooden walls with beeswax cloths, on a warm May day, must allow that they are 'intolerable and not to be endured.'

Slide 5. At the foot of the Staircase leading out of the Great Hall are folding dog-gates. These were used in olden times to prevent the dogs belonging to the household gaining access to the Rooms on the first floor.

Slide 4. Entering the Hall through the open porch which is protected inside with a stout oaken door, we enter a passage which extends through the building from front to back. On the left of the passage is a screen. Passing through one of the arched openings in the screen, we find ourselves in an old-world apartment, the walls being wainscoted round in paneled oak, and the upper part of the Hall having a gallery on three sides.
A conspicuous feature is a large open fireplace on the hearth of which logs of wood were formerly burnt. On the opposite side is a large mullioned window with its original leaded glass, and giving abundance of light to the Hall.
