Description: | Up until the mid 20th Century the corridor retained its original hard packed mud flooring. Originally the Great Hall floor level was lower than that of the corridor and a couple of steps lead into the Hall. During renovations carried out in the 1950s, this floor was dug out by about 50 cms. Evidence of this can be seen in that the Great Hall door was lengthened and the stone footings at the entrance to the Lower Great Chamber are now raised above the present flooring. Consequently today the corridor has several floor levels and steps which would not originally have been present. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
