The roof tiles are mainly rectangular, however in this section they are diamond-shaped but with an ogee outline and arranged three across to make a diamond pattern. To the left of this is the side elevation of a masonry structure that has a break in its roof eave that lays on top of small beams laid on top of one another above a small wooden shed-like projection. Below this is the top of a large, square tower with crocketed spires at each corner and a tracery arcade below its roofline.
