 The Hall was part of the original Manor of Portpoole , although it was significantly rebuilt during the reign of Mary I , and again during the reign of Elizabeth , with the rebuilding being finished on 10 November 1559 . The rebuilt Hall measured 70 feet ( 21 m ) in length , 35 feet ( 11 m ) in width and 47 feet ( 14 m ) in height , and remains about the same size today . It has a hammerbeam roof and a raised dais at one end with a grand table on it , where the Benchers and other notables would originally have sat .
