"THE HALL" of Whitton Court, shown by our illustration, is perhaps the most interesting feature of this fine mansion, as it is certainly the most ancient part now standing, being of the early period of the 14th century. It forms the centre of the south front of the building, and although much altered about the time of Elizabeth, it retains its original plan. The graceful ogee-headed trefoiled couplets, shown by the drawing, are two of the original windows; and, together with the rest of "The Hall", are of stone.
The exact date of the mural paintings forming the frieze above the wainscoting I have not ascertained, but one of the shields on the east wall has the date 1682, and this is probably the date of the whole series.
We have not space for further description, but hope, in a future number, to give a fuller account of the Court itself, together with some detail sketches.
