Summary
Leaded lights from the Great Hall windows on the ground floor. The opening casements are either flat type casements based on medieval models- nicely detailed with forged handles, or Crittal type frames with bronze furniture- of high quality (probably later). There are a few survivals of late medieval side hung metal casements on pintel hinges. Fixed light glazing has ‘knock in’ type tie bars- again based on late medieval models. One end of the bar is forged to a blunt point, which is driven in to the timber work. The other end is forged into a leaf shape with a pierced hole- this is then secured with a clout nail. The Great Hall windows have timber frames. The glass is 20th century cylinder glass. The lead is 5/16 round section. There are flat frame casements to the upper tier panels a and c.
