'The hall is shown in both mid/late seventeenth-century plans as a large rectangular room with a screens passage at its northern (low) end entered by a porch. At the opposite end of the hall is indicated an oriel-like projection linking to the main staircase and high-end rooms beyond.... As is usual, the fair copy shows greater detail, including a pair of windows in the front wall between the porch and oriel, and a triple-entrance screen (with the opening divided by circular columns) between the cross passage and the main body of the hall, though whether these details can be trusted is highly doubtful.... Hasted confirms the fifty feet length and adds that there was a music gallery at one end [over the cross passage] and at the other end a range of cloisters [a passage issuing out of the oriel] which led to the chapel and other apartments of the house.... Hasted adds that "Over the door of entrance into the house [i.e. porch] was carved in stone the figure of St George on horseback, and under it four shields of arms; one of which was the arms of England, and another a key and crown, supported by two angels"' (Martin, 'Westenhanger' 227).

The measurements of the hall are as provided by Cheyney, 'Westenhanger' 117.
