One of 2 small windows with medieval glass in the E wall.

'The east wall has a large central window, the tracery of which dates from about 1534, with a small window on each side. In these three windows have been concentrated for the past 150 years the many relics of some old painted glass of great beauty and value, which formerly adorned other windows in the building. Unfortunately, the fragments of old glass, dating from the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, have not been inserted according to their original arrangement, but it appears to be certain that many of the pieces of ecclesiastical subjects were formerly in the old Guildhall Chapel dedicated to St. Barbara' (Stephen, 'Guildhall' 49).

'The roof dates from the Tudor reconstruction and is very low pitched and, therefore, lead covered. It is divided into sixteen bays by five cambered and heavily moulded tie-beams running across the room and a ridge purlin and two side purlins running lengthwise. There are heavy ornamental pendants at each intersection, very much in the style of the early 16th century, and the braces have pierced decoration. The common rafters are probably original, although the boarding behind them is more likely to be Victorian restoration' (Dunn & Sutermeister, <i>Guildhall</i> 19).

The E wall of the high end is no longer standing although the SE turret was left for picturesque effect during 19th c. renovations.

A view of the hall ruins from the S. The S wall is mostly gone, although a fragmentary section remains at the SW end.

A Decorated door in the N wall, 2nd bay from the E, led to the cloisters. The main door in the centre of the W wall, at the former entrance to the nave, is 19th c.

Five 5-light windows on the N and S walls are later 15th c. There is a large 7-light 14th c. window in the Decorated style at the E end of the hall.
