late 20th Century architraves to door G2/d1 to Small Dining Room G2 removed and plain grained timber replacements installed.

What's to do

External - see Alterations to North elevation.

Internally: remove section of panelling that extends over window apertures and reform with oak linings and soffit extended back to exposed stone window frame. Adapt stallboard and provide oak cill.

Take off existing architraves and fit new oak jib door to extend the panelling across the door opening (all similar to that at G1/d1).
