"Now used as the Dining Hall of the pensioners. The decorations of the interior, a most beautiful example of the Renaissance, are almost entirely the work of the Duke of Norfolk, whose initials, T.N., with the date, 1571, are found in the carvings. The chimneypiece is of Sutton's time; the canon and powder barrels convey an allusion to his office of the Master of the Ordnance. The photograph shows two galleries, one on the north side over the chimneypiece, the other, for musicians, at the west end of the Hall, over the beautful screen."
The above description, by Alfred Marks, was taken from the letterpress which accompanies the photographs.
