View from the courtyard, looking across to the north side of the East Hall, built by Henry of Blois as his public hall where he would have been able to dine or receive visitors in state.

Looking through a doorway in the north side of the East Hall looking at the South wall. This gives some idea of the size of the hall. Wymonds Tower is just out of sight to the left.

The kitchens can be seen on the right, and the serving place on the left. This part was also known as the 'Keep'.

The south face of the East Hall, with Wymonds Tower to the right, a later name given to what Henry of Blois had originally built as a 'latrine' tower.

This is what you see on first entering the site.
