It would help to have the references as well.
It's curious actually. You'd think that such 'vital statistics' would be readily available. but actually most works are content to discuss the window in terms of generalities. Even the Corpus Vitraeum Medii Aevi site doesn't provide this information!
The most striking aspect of the question is that at All Soul's, the widows were moved around, and even at times had to be expanded, as in the case if the royal window, for example; yet no one seems to find it necessary to know what size it is in the first place!
try getting in touch with http://vidimus.org/, if they do not have such info they should be able to tell you where you can get it.
Thanks.
I sohould have thought of them earlier. It's what happens when you get frustrated: you stop thinking clearly!
Get in touch with the All Souls College and ask:
https://www.asc.ox.ac.uk/visiting-the-college
Simply tap the blue phrase via e-mail on that page and write to them and ask. This is the easiest way to get the information, I would suppose.

i did contact the crew at All Souls and they couldn't tell me! That is why I posted this question in the first place.
What I find so curious about the affair is while professors and other professionals become increasingly interested in details, the matter of dimensions in stain glass windows has yet to become a standard feature in the vital statistics. The CVMA doesn't keep such records and the site the Rose Window doesn't either.
The windows at All sousl are all the more curious in thsi mattter as Hutchinson points out taht they wer enlarged ot fit in their new frames, yet doesn't state their precice dimensions in his book.
