There is evidence of at least 3 doors in the period before 1642. A door in the upper end at the SE corner was blocked when the almshouses were attached in the 15th c. A low door towards the upper end of E wall near the dais led into the Council Chamber wing. There was also a door at the lower end giving access to the kitchen and buttery adjacent outside (exact location uncertain). The present door at the lower end in the N wall leads into the passageway between the hall and the Guild Chapel but it is part of the Victorian restoration of the building. It is likely located where the main entrance to the hall from the street would have been.

Access from Church Street is through a door leading into the passageway at the lower end.
