I'm not convinced that is the same thing - you could have more than one window within a bay - think of them as sections of a house. I can see I may have to find an appropriate illustration.

Ah Thanks Bez. I think I see what you mean yes a bay can have a number of windows. I thought perhaps a window had an average width and this was called a bay.
The windows in the Hall looked to be all flat if you know what I mean.

Germaine - I am sending you a book illustration as an email attachment. It is of an earlier date, but illustrates what I mean very well.

Thought other people might like to see the illustration of a 3 bay house. Taken from "Village Records" by John West.
