Looking down onto the smaller court from the upper great hall

This great hall was probably added later

Small private rooms were built at one end of the great hall.
May have been guest chambers

The hall on the first floor. Probably used for larger public meetings and banquets.

This room is from an addition made in the 1600's to provide more
private chambers. Here resides the pit prison and guard room.
