Very interesting, Nemesis. Thank you. Particularly the bit about Landguard Fort in Felixstowe.
Mrs P is a Felixstowe girl, and we got to know the heathland around there very well when we wuz a-courtin'...!
Must have a look at that 1000-year-old door in Westminster Abbey, next time I'm up in Lunnun. Wow!

I'm interested in Martin's report:
The Staircase from Anderson Place, Newcastle upon Tyne
Martin Roberts
Anderson Place, Newcastle, demolished for the construction of Grey Street in 1834 or 1835, was in appearance a country house within a town, and a leader of 17th-century architectural fashion in the north-east.
This article is the first to analyse its development. In 1980 a letter from the Newcastle architect John Dobson was found, suggesting that the staircase from Anderson Place was reused at Brinkburn Priory, but examination of Brinkburn Priory House failed to identify it.
In 2001 the author discovered a magnificent 17th-century staircase in pieces, stored in the roof of the priory stables, doubtless the staircase from Anderson Place, and he has now reconstructed the whole staircase on paper.
