On the centre of the dripband is a stone plaque carved with the Stanley crest of eagle-and-child, and the date "1633".

The rear gable wall has a 5-light mullioned window at 1st floor (like that at the front), a stone plaque above this with the Legs-of-Man, the initials "ILS" in the top left corner, "1633" in the top right-hand corner, and initials in the lower corners "RC" and "IC"; an attic window like that at the front, and in the apex a square stone with an egg-shaped recess.
