Great Hall -- Oak Beams. Because of the precarious condition of this part of the building, some creative behind-the-scenes restoration work was necessary to return the Hall to its fifteenth-century splendor. Some of the beams in the Hall are twentieth-century oak constructed to fifteenth-century standards. This wall, above the glassed-in screens passage, shows the original beams.
