	The Keep: Kitchen and Great Chamber Looking south in the western portion of the keep. The kitchen was on the ground floor, while the first floor was partitioned into a great chamber (north) and privy chamber (south), with its two high windows. When the chambers of the southern range were constructed, a bridge at the first floor level connected the original privy chamber to a new privy or "lady" chamber on the southern range, and the original privy chamber in the keep was repurposed as a "presence chamber." The masonry above the presence chamber is part of the fifteenth century second-storey addition with its wider windows. The kitchen contained a well at the northern end and a well and two holding areas for live fish on the southern end.
