Full Description
Old Bank House has a service wing stretching out to the North from the west part of the main range. The lower part of the west wall survives from before the fire of 1731 and is probably a vestige of the School House; it is built of thin, variegated bricks and terminates to north and south in stone quoins. Three windows, one blocked, and a doorway with a chamfered stone surround, a segmental head and a stone hood-mould, open in this wall. The upper courses of the west wall belong to the post-fire period like the rest of the house. <2-3>
