from A New View of London, by Edward Hatton (1708)

Westminster Hall, is very probably the most capacious Room in Christendom (without Pillars) taking it in all its dimensions of le. br. and altitude. It is situate on the S. side of New Palace Yard, whence is a Passage thro' this Fabrick to the Abbey, College, and School of Westminster.

This Room was first built by William Rufus in the Year of our Lord 1097, as several Authors affirm; the Walls are Stone, (partly Boulder) Windows of the Gothick Order, Floor paved with Stone; but that which is most of Curiosity is the Roof covered with Lead. It is made of Irish Oak, so that it is always clean and free from that filth which is occasioned by Vermin. There are no Pillars to support the Roof (notwithstanding its great latitude) but that is very artfully done by neat Buttresses of the said Timber, adorned and enricht with Angels &c. and under them are however much more noble Ornaments of Guidons, Colours and Standards, Ensigns and Trophies of Victory obtained most compleatly by the Confederates, under the Command of his Grace, the Duke of Marlborough, at Hockstet and Blenheim in Germany, over the Powerful Army of the French in conjunction with the Bavarians, fought on the 13th Day of August, 1704; where 14000 of the French were killed in the Field, 4000 pushed into the Danube, 40 Officers of the First, and 900 of the 2d Rank and 12000 common Soldiers were taken Prisoners, with the Marshal Tallard (one of the French Generals) and was brought over and remained Prisoner in England some Years; the other 2 Generals fled with Precipitation and Confusion towards Alsace, viz. the Marshal Marsin, and Elector of Bavaria, who for his Rebellion was degraded and put into the Ban of the Empire. The Duke of Marlborough for his great Courage and Conduct was by the Emperor created a Prince of the Empire, i.e. of Mindelheim, and by the Queen and Parliament of England rewarded with the Mannor of Woodstock, and to perpetuate the same to posterity, a Noble House is there building called Blenheim House, at the Queen's Charge, and 5000l. per Ann. settled by Parliament on him and his Heirs, Males of Females, for ever.

Use of This Hall.

This Hall was formerly made use of by the Kings, &c. for Feasting, and also as a Room where to relieve the Poor; but for many Years past, viz. since 9 Hen. 3. it has been the place where these Courts of Judicature sit. 1. The High Court of Chancery near the S.W. Angle. 2. That of the Queen's Bench, near the S.E. 3. The Court of Common Pleas, near the N. Door on the W. side; and on that side above the Steps is the Exchequer Court, which see respectively. The Sides are also used for Shops, chiefly Booksellers and Milliners, and the Feasts of our Coronations are here kept.

Le. of this Hall 228 Foot, br. 66, and the altitude 90 Foot. Contiguous to the S.E. part of this Hall up 32 Steps are the House of Commons and Speakers Chamber, Court of Requests, Painted Chamber (said to have been Edw. the Confessors Bed-Chamber, and is now, at the upper end fitted with a Table and Seats where the Lords and Commons meet at a Free Conference betn the 2 Houses about Amendments to Bills, &ampc. the House of Lords, Princes Chamber (where the Queen is Rob'd and Unrob'd upon her coming to Parliament) and some others. See House of Lords and Commons under their respective words in this Section, the Courts in Sect. 5. Thus much for the Building.

from London and Its Environs Described, by Robert and James Dodsley (1761)

Westminster Hall, was first built by William Rufus, as an addition to the palace of Westminster, and that Prince at his return from Normandy kept the high festival of Christmas in this room, which for several reigns was used for great feasts, whenever our Kings entertained in a splendid manner the nobility and clergy: of this we find many instances; but what appears most remarkable, King Henry III. on New Year’s Day 1236, gave a public entertainment to 6000 poor men, women and children in this hall and the other rooms of the palace.

At length this great hall becoming very ruinous, it was rebuilt by Richard II. in the year 1397, as it at present appears, together with the buildings on the east and west sides; and it was no sooner finished than it received the appellation of the new palace, to distinguish it from the old palace, where the house of Lords and Commons at present assemble.

In the year 1399, the King kept his Christmas here, during which time 10000 persons were plentifully entertained in this spacious hall, and the other rooms of the palace; for whose supply were daily killed about eighty oxen, and three hundred sheep, besides a vast number of fowls. It is still used for our coronation feasts; and for the three great courts of justice, the chancery, king’s bench, and common pleas, besides the court of exchequer which adjoins to it.

The front of this hall is extremely narrow, it is built with stone in the gothic taste, with a tower on each side the entrance, adorned with abundance of carved work. The print represents this front. The hall itself is esteemed the largest room in Europe unsupported by pillars, it being 270 feet in length and 74 broad. The roof is admired for the excellence of the workmanship, and the sides contain a number of shops belonging to booksellers, &c. It is paved with stone, and to the courts of justice at the end is an assent by a flight of steps. The inside is most remarkable for being so wide and having no columns to support a roof so large. It is a regular Gothic, and gives us a good idea of the skill in architecture of our fore fathers so early as the time of Richard II.

Westminster-Hall,—on the S. side of New Palace-yeard, near the bridge.

from A Topographical Dictionary of London and Its Environs, by James Elmes (1831)

Westminster Hall, is situated between the Abbey and the River Thames, and was build by William Rufus, in 1098, but was repaired and enlarged in 1397, by Richard II., who entertained 10,000 persons within its walls at a Christmas festival, and it is still used by the Kings of England for their coronation feasts. Parliaments have frequently been held in this hall, and in it was held the ancient court of justice, in which the king presided in person. On the western side of the hall are the new courts of justice recently erected by John Soane, Esq., R.A., of which he has published engravings and descriptive accounts in a large folio volume. The first on the right hand in the corner is the Court of King's Bench and its bail court, the next is the Court of Common Pleas, the third is the Court of Exchequer, and the last is the Court of Chancery. Up the steps at the northern end of the hall, are the entrances to the Houses of Lords and Commons.

from London Past and Present: Its History, Associations, and Traditions, by Henry Benjamin Wheatley and Peter Cunningham (1891)

Westminster Hall, the old hall of the palace of our kings at Westminster, incorporated by Sir Charles Barry into the new Houses of Parliament, to serve as their vestibule. It was originally built in the reign of William Rufus, and is supposed to have been a nave and aisles divided by timber ports; and during the refacing of the outer walls, a Norman arcade of the time of Rufus was uncovered, but destroyed. Rufus's Hall was intended as the commencement of a new Westminster Palace to supersede that of Edward the Confessor. The present hall was formed 1397–1399 (in the last three years of Richard II.), when the walls were carried up 2 feet higher, the windows altered, and a stately porch and new roof constructed according to the design of Master Henry de Yeveley, master mason. The stone moulding or string-course that runs round the hall preserves the white hart couchant, the favourite device of Richard II. The roof, with its hammer beams (carved with angels), is of oak, and the finest of its kind in this country. Fuller speaks of its "cobwebless beams," alluding to the vulgar belief that it was built of a particular kind of wood (Irish oak) in which spiders cannot live.1 The early Parliaments, and the still earlier Grand Councils, were often held in this hall. The Law Courts of England were of old held in the open hall; the Exchequer Court at the entrance end, and the Courts of Chancery and Kings at the opposite end; and here, in certain courts built by Sir John Soane, on the west of the hall, they continued to be held until the opening of the New Law Courts in 1882. These courts were—the Court of Chancery, in which the Lord Chancellor sat; the Court of Queen's Bench, in which the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench2 sat; the Court of Common Pleas, presided over by a Lord Chief Justice, and called by Coke "the pillow whereon the attorney doth rest his head"; and the Court of Exchequer, presided over by a Lord Chief Baron. The name Westminster Hall was not unfrequently used for the law itself.

Whatever Bishops do otherwise than the Law permits, Westminster Hall can control or send them to absolve.—Selden's Table Talk.

When Peter the Great was taken into Westminster Hall, he inquired who those busy people were in wigs and black gowns. He was answered they are lawyers. "Lawyers!" said he, with a face of astonishment: "why, I have but two in my whole dominions, and I believe I shall hang one of them the moment I get home."3

It is reported that John Whiddon, a Justice of the Court of King's Bench in I Mariae, was the first of the Judges who rode to Westminster Hall on a Horse or Gelding; for before that time they rode on mules.—Dugdale's Orig. Jur. ed. 1680, p. 38.
Manly. I hate this place [Westminster Hall] worse than a man that has inherited a Chancery suit: I wish I were well out on't again.
Freeman. Why, you need not be afraid of this place; for a man without money needs no more fear a crowd of lawyers than a crowd of pickpockets.—Wycherley, The Plain Dealer, 4to, 1676.
Colonel Standard. What! a soldier stay here. To look like an old pair of Colours in Westminster Hall, ragged and rusty.—Farquhar, The Constant Couple, 4to, 1707.
I remember, when I was a boy, I saw the Hall hung full on one side with colours and standards taken from the Scots at Worcester fight, but upon King Charles the Second his coming to his just right, all taken down.—Strype, B. vi. p. 49.
The late Mr. Jekyll told me that soon after he was called to the bar a strange solicitor coming up to him in Westminster Hall, begged him to step into the Court of Chancery to make a motion of course, and gave him a fee. The young barrister, looking pleased but a little surprised, the solicitor said to him, "I thought you had a sort of right, Sir, to this motion, for the bill was drawn by Sir Joseph Jekyll, your great grand-uncle, in the reign of Queen Anne."—Lord Campbell's Lives of the Chancellors.

March 1625. The highest tide ever known has done great harm along the Thames side. Westminster Hall was three feet in water.—Cal. State Papers, 1623–1625, p. 497.

The Thames Embankment has effectually got rid of that danger; but as late as October 21, 1812, Speaker Abbot records in his Diary that

About half-past 2, returning to Palace Yard, I saw the tide rushing in. It soon rose to the door of Westminster Hall; flowed into it; and three or four boats full of men went into the Hall. The tide still continued to rise for three-quarters of an hour. It filled my Court Yard, and the horses were up to their bellies in water in the stable.—vol. ii. p. 406.

Besides the Law Courts, a part of Westminster Hall was taken up with the stalls of booksellers, law stationers, sempstresses, and dealers in toys and smallwares, the rents and profits of which belonged by right of office to the Warden of the Fleet.4 The Hall was found on fire, Sunday, February 20, 1630–1631, "by the burning," as Laud records in his Diary, "of the little shops or stalls kept therein." In the curious account of Master [afterwards Sir] Henry Blount's Voyage into the Levant, made in 1634 (published 1638), he says that he gave one of the boys (pages) attached to the Turkish commander in the Danube, "a pocket looking-glass in a little ivory case, with a comb; such as are sold at Westminster Hall for four or five shillings a piece."

Sleek sempstress vends amidst the Courts her ware.

Wycherley, Epilogue to the Plain Dealer.
We entered into a great Hall where my Indian was surprised to see in the same place, men on the one side with baubles and toys, and on the other taken up with the fear of judgment, on which depends their inevitable destiny. In this shop are to be sold ribbons and gloves, towers and commodes by word of mouth: in another shop lands and tenements are disposed of by decree. On your left hand you hear a nimble-tongued painted sempstress with her charming treble invite you to buy some of her knick-knacks, and on your right a deep-mouthed cryer, commanding impossibilities, viz., silence to be kept among women and lawyers.—Tom Brown's Amusements, etc., 8vo, 1700.

The duodecimo volume of Sir Walter Raleigh's Remains was printed in 1675, for Henry Mortlock, at the Phoenix in St. Paul's Churchyard, and at the White Hart in Westminster Hall.5

Let the spectator picture to himself the appearance which this venerable hall has presented on many occasions. Here were hung the banners taken from Charles I. at the battle of Naseby;6 from Charles II. at the battle of Worcester;7 at Preston and Dunbar;8 and, somewhat later, those taken at the battle of Blenheim.9 Here, at the upper end of the hall, Oliver Cromwell was inaugurated as Lord Protector, sitting in a robe of purple velvet lined with ermine, on a rich cloth of state, with the gold sceptre in one hand, the Bible richly gilt and bossed in the other, and his sword at his side; and here, four years later, at the top of the hall fronting Palace Yard, his head was set on a pole, with the skull of Ireton on one side of it and the skull of Bradshaw on the other. Here shameless ruffians sought employment as hired witnesses, or to act as bail, and walked openly in the hall with a straw in the shoe to denote their quality;10 and here the good, the great, the brave, the wise and the abandoned have been brought to trial. Here (in the Hall of Rufus) Sir William Wallace was tried and condemned. Here, in this very hall, Sir Thomas More and the Protector Somerset were doomed to the scaffold. Here, in Henry VIII.'s reign (1517), entered the City apprentices implicated in the murders on "Evil May Day" of the aliens settled in London, each with a halter round his neck, and crying "Mercy, gracious Lord, mercy," while Wolsey stood by, and the King, beneath his cloth of state, heard their defence and pronounced their pardon—the prisoners shouting with delight and casting up their halters to the hall roof, "so that the King," as the chroniclers observe, "might perceive they were none of the discreetest sort."11 Here too, on "a scaffold" erected for the purpose, took place, in the same presence, the trial of Queen Anne Boleyn. Here the notorious Earl and Countess of Somerset were tried in the reign of James I. for the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury. Here the great Earl of Strafford was condemned:—

Each seemed to act the part he came to see,
And none was more a looker-on than he.—Sir John Denham.

the King being present, and the Commons, sitting bareheaded all the time.12 Here the High Court of Justice sat which condemned King Charles I., the upper part of the hall hung with scarlet cloth, and the King sitting covered, with the Naseby banners above his head. Here Lily, the astrologer, who was present, saw the silver top fall from the King's staff, and others heard Lady Fairfax exclaim, when her husband's name was called over, "He has more wit than to be here." Here, in the reign of James II., the seven bishops were acquitted. Here Dr. Sacheverel was tried and pronounced guilty by a majority of seventeen. Here the rebel Lords of 1745—Kilmarnock, Balmerino and Lovat—were heard and condemned. Here Lord Byron was tried for killing Mr. Chaworth; Lord Ferrers for murdering his steward; and the Duchess of Kingston, 1776, for bigamy. Here Warren Hastings was tried, and Burke and Sheridan grew eloquent and impassioned, while senators by birth and election, and the beauty and rank of Great Britain, sat earnest spectators and listeners of the extraordinary scene. The last public trial in the hall itself was Lord Melville's in 1806; and the last coronation dinner in the hall was that of George IV., when for the last time, probably, according to the custom maintained for ages, the King's champion (young Dymocke) rode on horseback into the hall in full armour, and threw down the gauntlet on the floor, challenging the world in a King's behalf.

At the upper end of Westminster Hall is a long marble stone of twelve foot in length and three foot in breadth. And there is also a marble chair, where the Kings of England formerly sate at their Coronation Dinners; and at other solemn times the Lord Chancellor. But now not to be seen, being built over by the two Courts of Chancery and King's Bench.—Strype, B. vi. p. 49.

Access to St. Stephen's Crypt at the south-east corner is by a flight of steps.

This noble hall is 290 feet long by 68 feet broad. It is said to be the largest apartment in the world not supported by pillars—save the Hall of Justice at Padua, and railway stations. The floor was renewed by Sir Charles Barry, R.A., to something like its original elevation in relation to the height of the building; and somewhat altered to make the hall serve as the vestibule to the new Palace of Westminster. Barry pulled down the south wall of the hall and formed the archway and steps into his St. Stephen's chamber. [See Heaven and Hell] Sir John Soane's Law Courts were sold in January 1883 for about £2400. The clearing away of these left one side of Westminster Hall in a very bald, unfinished condition, and new so-called cloisters have been built after the designs of J. L. Pearson, R.A., architect.
