A curious feature of Hall is the spy door halfway up the west wall. Tradition has it that it was inserted by Woodyer, who had included this feature in other buildings, to enable the matron to keep watch from her rooms on the boys below, or possibly to check there was nothing untoward happening involving the maids.
