ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING

THE INTERIOR - 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 then curator. It accommodates 2½ bays and looks as though it originally extended further to the rear. 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.
