original house through to the major alterations of 1885. As an original survival, the staircase is notable, with moulded rail capped by
ramified urns above the newels and slim turned balusters. It has however been re-arranged to form a straight flight. Raised and
fielded panelling throughout may also be original work, but plaster ceilings which are largely heavy floral swags forming panels,
though with some lighter motifs including strap work and pendants in one principal upper room is largely of 1885. Other detailing
seems also to belong to this period, but some fireplaces are of the 18th century, and grisaille panels over some upper doorways are
of the later C18. The entrance hall is completely of 1885 in a Tudor style with panelled ceilings and stone fireplace with carved
wood over mantle. In the cellar are two doors removed from Newgate Prison cells in 1903. Stable courtyard to north of house is
almost entirely of 1885 in a Dutch style with principal range to the north articulated by pilasters with a central shaped Dutch gable.

chamber lights and pyramidal roof. Victorian Decorated-style window in its west wall. South door in Victorian gabled porch. Angle
buttresses to nave and aisle, which has Perpendicular windows, drop--ended hoodmoulds with corbel heads. Their tracery is of two
lights, trefoiled ogee work. East window of aisle is reticulated, Decorated tracery of 3-lights. Chancel is rendered over limestone
rubble in the south wall, cobble to the east, with C15 windows, renewed in east and north. North windows are also C15, two of
them renewed. Inside, the tower sits within the western bay of the nave, an almost self-supporting timbered structure : thick
squared corner posts have braces to tie beams and struts which tie into the outer stone walls, in a construction reminiscent more of
Essex than Leicestershire. Restored in the "scrape" tradition throughout. Nave arcade of two bays, C13, with filleted cylindrical
shafts and flat octagonal abaci ornamented with simple foliate emblems in relief. Roll-moulded chamfered arches. Nave roof may be
Mediaeval : common rafter roof lavishly timbered with sweeping curved braces. Principal rafter or truss only marks division with
chancel, Queenpost construction with raking struts springing from corbels. Another similar roof truss in the chancel indicates its
different construction period. South west chancel window is contained within a chamfered embrasure with trefoiled arched head.
