More about this scene
By this time, the building had been leased to the Youth Hostel Association for some years (it has accommodation for up to 60 people). The beams have been blackened, and the plasterwork is in good repair. The whole building is L-shaped with the jettied upper storey coming round the corner, and by looking at the roof line we can see that the original building was added to later. There is a large entrance arch on the right, before the weather-boarded wall, leading to a charming walled garden; it has recently been planted with the plants that would have been there in Tudor times.
