(S4) confirms rear wing with diaperwork, bricks of 16th/17th century type, south wall with blocked windows on two levels. There is a vertical join to the edge of the west gable wall of this wing which appears to be later, perhaps 18th century, so the wing may have been reduced as part of the remodelling.
