Elias of Dereham oversaw the construction of the Great Hall for Henry III and is the only commoner mentioned in the stained glass windows. Winchester

---

The Great Hall windows were completely renewed in 1958 after war damage from the Blitz. They show the coats of arms of prominent members of the Company (Merchant Taylors) from the Middle Ages onwards. For the purposes of this they are numbered from west to east ( dais to kitchen) as windows 1 to 4 (south side) and 5 to 8 (north side).
