To the right of the tower arch is a door. Local signage reports :-

"Saxon-Norman Staircase 

Behind this doorway, Great Hale has the only existing example of an internal spiral staircase in any Saxon-Norman tower in this country from the period up until 1100. Other towers have external turrets with wooden stairs or ladders to reach the higher parts of the tower. 

The lower part of this staircase indicates Saxon workmanship with a newel drum separate from the treads, but the higher level uses the Norman method of a newel drum and tread made of a single stone and so may have been completed a little later, around 1090. 

The circular window on the north face of the tower belongs to the Saxon part of the stairwell. while the rectangular windows belong to the Norman part of the upper stairwell. The tower arch also seems to date from this slightly later period"
