Visited 1st February 1993 by a structural engineer acting for Society for Protection of Ancient Buildings. Partial (though extensive) demolition of the north-east block had been carried out following alleged movement of the wing's south-east wall by 1.25 inches in four hours. We feel it surprising there there had been such movement in a substantial wall 600 millimetres thick - particularly as, internally, the wall as it survives shows no sign of movement at first floor level.
The Society believes that the north-east block of the building is not beyond repair, and should not be demolished.
