Textual Description
There is an entrance door from the Great Court into the screens passage; another through the screens into the hall; a door at the NW corner of the dais opening onto stairs at ground level, probably giving access to the master's lodge; and a trap-door of uncertain location. A companion door at the NE corner of the dais which may have led down to the tiring chamber is now blocked.

Textual Description
'In the <i>Interior</i> of the Hall, in the W. end of the N wall, is an early 16th-century doorway with chamfered jambs and moulded three-centred head with a portcullis and a Tudor rose carved in the spandrels; until the time of the rebuilding it was in the N. end of the E. wall opening, probably into a lobby at the foot of the adjoining circular stair.'

There are also 2 doors leading to the butteries in the 19th c. S wall at the low end and another 19th c. door in the E end of the N wall.

Commentary
The entrance wall at the low end was part of the Georgian renovation to the chamber. There are 3 doors, 2 blocked on either side of the central door.

Commentary
The NW arched door entrance to the low end of the hall marks the site of the original entrance porch. The roof line of the porch can still be discerned.

The arched 2-light window at the upper level lit the solar above the service rooms.

A small arched door leads from the former high end of the hall into the courtyard. An adjacent door at the corner on the inside leads into the angle tower beside the chapel.

Commentary
The 15th c. doorway at the W end of the S aisle led into the Inner Chamber, now Committee Room I, of the same period. The early 19th c. door in the SW bay leads to a 2-storey Committee Rooms block built ca. 1810.
