| The cobbled surface is within the known footprint of the house. |
A major question has been did Stalbridge House have a courtyard? The cobbled floor seemed to suggest that it did and research has unearthed a mention of a courtyard. So the two together makes a convincing case that the house was an open square. Of course, this 'courtyard' in the record could be anywhere, so will have to be confirmed by archaeological excavation. Hopefully next year we will confirm or refute this interpretation on the ground, but it is looking good and would make a major contribution to our knowledge.
