I have no doubt that this made sense at the time (the curving hall sounds
nicer than a hard right angle in a back hall that might not have accommodated
moving furniture), and that there were carpenters, woodlathers and plasterers
who knew how to build it, as opposed to a bunch of guys used to building
straight lines who got stuck trying to bend sheetrock.

There were 5 chambers upstairs at  one time, one has been converted to a WC

Down heah we generally frown on the use of panties as WCs.  Different
