Adams, A., 2015, Sgraffito-Decorated and Painted Plaster on Devon Fireplaces, 160, 170, 177; Fig 7.3 (Article in Monograph). SDV365384.

The simplest sgraffito pattern, of alternately toned squares, was sometimes used over an entire surface, as with the upper-floor gable fireplace, which also has a frieze, floral devices and the date 1653 above. The jambs have diagonally halved squares.
The entire fireplace surround including the lintel was painted black and was probably also streaked in imitation of marble.
