. The Victoria history of the county of Lancaster;. Natural history. A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE The original character of the passage has been altered by the building of the hall chimney and the insertion of a modern staircase. At the north-east corner of the hall is a small room measuring about 9 ft. by 7 ft. which seems to have been added later, constructed of timber and plaster, and with a window on the south side. It goes up two stories, and has a similar apartment above it opening from the room over the hall. The plan of the first floor only differs from that of the ground story by the bay window being made into a separate apartment connected with the landing over the passage by a corridor on the south side.

The room over the bay window extends the width of the corridor over the great hall, and in two upper lights of its window preserves fragments of well-designed lead glazing. In the south wall up- stairs, facing the corridor, is an eight-light stone- mull ion ed window now built up and invisible from the outside, and the landing is lit by a smaller stone.
