Library
On the ground floor directly below the Main Hall is another room. It is named the Library due to the fact it is currently used as a library but the original use of this room when the new extention was built is unknown. In the early 1900s this room was used as a Gardeners Kitchen with the toilet next to the barrel vault forming part of the scullery at the time.
For many years this room was part of lower cottage and accessed through the living room via a small door and it was always thought that this room was only accessible though this means.
When the tenant (my grandmother) died and the room was cleared it was soon discovered there was a door going through to the castle, it had been blocked many years before and lay hidden.
It was then discovered that the original access door remained and soon after the access to lower cottage was blocked up and the room became part of the castle again.
