You are at the heated wall (8)
This south facing wall, built of hand-made bricks, once formed part of the Rector's garden and is hollow inside. A furnace produced heated air to fill the space thus heating the wall and enabling the fruit grown against it to ripen early for use in the house. The hooks which held the trees in place are still visible.
