View of the Robing Room. This room is the furthest from the entrance and was built 67ft (20m) into the chalk hillside. The holes in the ceiling were the locating slots for wooden ‘ribs’, which looked like a support for the roof in this chamber. This would have resembled the frame of an umbrella, with the central shaft being the pillar in the centre of the room. The old name for the chamber was the ‘Palm Pillar Room’, which reflected this feature.
