The "Granier Mark"

• The great hall on the eastern side of the house contains what Sanjean calls the "Granier Mark" – the Third Power symbol
• The mark is worked in polished wood in the ceiling and stretches across three flagstones on the floor
• It was studied and photographed by Aiko Entrescore for a research project

Secrets

• The house contains a number of secret rooms and compartments
• One of these is in the panelling in the garden salon, found by Scarlett while she was staying there. When opened, it was found to contain only cleaning supplies.

• Another secret compartment was found in an alcove near the main bedroom
  • It was a picture of a lighthouse in a mosaic frame, with raised tiles that were able to be rotated
  • Scarlett enlisted our help in solving this puzzle.
  • When opened, the panel was found to contain a small letter packet containing a note in Granier’s handwriting and a piece of paper containing a puzzle
