Long Gallery

Long Gallery - rooftop view

A rare view of the Long Gallery taken from the dinner bell tower over the Old Hall.

This shows clearly how the three (only two visible) octagonal turrets were truncated with a flat lead roof sometime after the Loggan print of 1685.

Of the two chimneys in the foreground, one is for the fireplace in the Old Hall. The other is blocked: what could it possibly have been for?
