Sally-Beth MacLean

Commentary
The low end is dominated by the 2 massive octagonal speres supporting the roof on either side of the central screen. There was never a gallery.

Decorative quatrefoil panels on the speres complement the similarly patterned wall above the screens passage door arcade. The speres stand 4' out from the N and S walls.

From the collections of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust

Commentary
The N wall and door of the low end are a later renovation during the Victorian era. The length of the first bay has been affected by 19th c. adjustments.

There was no gallery in the hall in any period.

Commentary
A view of the low end and N wall of the hall, with fireplace.

There is also a later chamber window looking down from the ladies' withdrawing room on the N wall by the gallery at the lower (NW) end but this is not visible here.
