| Summary : A 17th century house, perhaps built after the Parliamentary slighting of the Castle in 1646. It possibly incorporates medieval remains, traditionally those of the chapel of St Nicholas, founded by Eleanor of Aquitaine; but no such remains can be confirmed without excavation. Early or mid 18th century refronting. Early 19th century internal alterations. The facade is of hammer dressed limestone and the remainder is of rubble. The roof is slated. |
