East Wing in Detail
(Fig 1 below) The courtyard to the East (right) wing is marked "Stableyard". Working clockwise starting from the South East room (bottom right, just above the circular stamp of the Sir John Soane's Museum) the rooms are labelled :- Hen House 8 by 16, Calves 7 by 16, Cow House 20 by 16, Stable 16 by 15, Stable 16 by 24, Dairy 16 by 11'6 (This is the oval room), Pales (sic. pails ? the small circular room off this), Scullery (?) 8.6 by 11.6, Wash House & Laundry, Drying Yard.

The upper level of the East Wing seems to have been mainly hayloft, with rooms for farm hands, dairy maids and stable boy etc.

Plan - East Wing

Fig 1. "U" shaped East Wing. Detail of Plan Fig 4 above. The courtyard on the East side is marked Stableyard. The plan shows a cowhouse on the South side, but Fig 4 shows large arched openings in this wall, as if to accommodate a cart, so presumably the cows were located elsewhere
