An intimate Gothic mudroom pairs ribbed stone vaults and a pointed-arch leaded window with an L-shaped carved oak settle. Patterned glass casts tracery shadows on limewashed ashlar. Deep aubergine velvet cushions soften the bench, while slate-blue flagstones ground the floor. A brass pedestal basin with lion-head spout and serpent stem adds ritual utility, while raven-shaped iron hooks and a brass-opal globe pendant heighten the ecclesiastical mood.
