This entrance to the castle was strictly out of bounds. However on Saturday mornings, after breakfast until lunchtime, the boys had to weed the circular drive by hand. Woe-betide anyone who pulled up a weed and broke the stem!

The top window (open) to the right of the portico was a toilet. The two below it illuminated a staircase up to the dormitories, and the single one at the bottom cast light on a stairway to the cellars. A slope down below the portico also gave access to the cellars.The semicircular window (right) was in a passage.
