Textual Description
There is a large semi-octagonal bay window at the upper end of the hall in the 2nd bay of the E wall, crowned by a lierne-vaulted roof with foliage bosses at the intersections. 2 3-light windows on the W wall on each side of the fireplace face 2 3-light windows on the E wall S of the bay window. Originally there was a 3rd 2-light window at a higher level N of the bay (shown in Loggan's late 17th c. engraving) but it was blocked by later panelling.

The window tracery was altered in the 18th and 19th c. The present heraldic glass was installed in the mid-19th c.

Textual Description
The original semi-octagonal bay window on the N wall was replaced by a rectangular clunch window after 1688 and further renovated in better stone in the 20th c. (Little, <i>Colleges of Cambridge</i> 52). An identical bay on the S wall was blocked by the E range of the new court. There are also 2 large 4-light windows in the N wall dating from the 16th c.

The window sills were raised to 9' and the windows glazed during mid-16th c. renovations. Ca. 1597 the windows were enlarged again (Nelson, <i>Early Cambridge theatres</i> 71).

Textual Description
There was originally a bay window on the W side at the high end and 2 other 3-light windows in the Perpendicular style on the same wall. A small 2-light window overlooked the hall from the gallery above the screens. 2 original single-light windows overlook the high end from the master's lodge.

The original bay window on the W at the high end was redesigned and another added on the E side during the 19th c. reconstruction.

Commentary
The Assembly Chamber has 2 upper windows on the S wall and 2 facing on the N. On the lower S level there is 1 larger window, with another (4-light Victorian) window facing on the N wall. These windows may be in their original positions though they are likely later remodellings.

Commentary
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).
