Thomson s Liberty In a hall the height of which was greatly disproportioned to its extreme length and width a long oaken table formed of planks rough-hewn from the forest and which had scarcely received anu polish stood ready prepared for the evening meal of Cedric the Saxon. The roof composed of beams and rafters had nothing to divide the apartment from the sky excepting the planking and thatch there was a huge fireplace at either end of the hall but as the chimneys were constructed in a very clumsy manner at least as much of the smoke found its way into the apartment as escaped by the proper vent. The constant vapour which this occasioned had polished the rafters and beams of the low-browed hall by encrusting them with a black varnish of soot. On the sides of the apartment hung implements of war and of the chase and there were at each corner folding doors which gave access to other parts of the extensive building. The other appointments of the mansion partook of the rude simplicity of the Saxon period which Cedric piqued himself upon maintaining. The floor was composed of earth mixed with lime trodden into a hard substance such as is often employed in flooring our modern barns. For about one quarter of the length of the apartment the floor was raised by a step and this space which was called the dais was occupied only by the principal members of the family and visitors of distinction. For this purpose a table richly covered with scarlet cloth was placed transversely across the platform from the middle of which ran the longer and lower board at which the domestics and inferior persons fed down towards the bottom of the hall. The whole resembled the form of the letter T or some of those ancient dinner-tables which arranged on the same principles may be still seen in the antique Colleges of Oxford .
