There are two aumbry's (pronounced am-bree) in the living room, one is next to the fireplace and the other is in the recess next to the west facing window.
"An Ambrey is a recess in the wall that has a secure door on it to store valuables. In simple terms it is a cupboard in the wall"
Neither have their doors any longer, so are just open holes for you to imagine what may once would have been stored in them.
