This was once the main room of the Norman house, where the owner and his family lived. Sadly, much of its character has gone. Its best features are the two Norman windows. Both have stone window-seats with a roll edge and a raised foot-rest. These are rare survivals and are in excellent condition. The room would have had a boarded or plastered ceiling originally, below steeply pitched rafters and tie-beams.

The Edwardson Room

This room is part of the 16th century addition to Moyse's Hall. It stands above 'the Passage' on the ground floor. It was incorporated into the museum in 1972 and named after the curator of that time. It has a good quality 16th century timber roof, of a type more often found in churches than in houses. There were no tie-beams originally, but three re-used beams were later inserted.
