                  I wish you well then......To me it was just a short-cut there and back...It constitutes not one atom of the history I am interested in......

                    Indeed - Dado and his brothers Ado and Rado might sound like Dubs but they were from a 7th century French noble family and founded monasteries in northern France, where the Normans much later arrived and adopted him as a patron saint.

                                Well this took ages, mainly because there's very little evidence left of the old adjoining building. I've discovered if you stare at an old stone wall long enough you can find just about any shape or outline you want! Also complicated by the ground levels around about - the old building seems to have started about a foot higher than the tower floor, but now the outside of the tower has been filled with earth to about 5 feet above the tower floor. Makes things very tricky, so these are very rough outlines. Anyway, hope these make sense - there's definitely a very small bit of an old wall jutting out from the tower, and possibly the shape of a doorway, but nothing conclusive. There was another floor inside the tower (probably taken out during renovations c.1916) which could also have connected to the out-building.
