Boarded Gallery
"A wooden gallery, location uncertain, but probably that from the Banqueting House, passing at right angles to it between the Great Court and the Pebble Court, eastwards to the block which included the Great Hall and the Chapel. If so, it was replaced in brick in 1669." (L&M Companion) http://snipurl.com/nw26i
