noon-hall
now historical and rare
noun
The hall of Cardinal Wolsey's palace at York Place, so named from its orientation due south, towards the sun at midday.
Origin
Early 19th century; earliest use found in James Smith (1775–1839), writer and humorist. Perhaps a spurious compound, based on a misreading of Pepys' cipher.
