Googling produces lots of diagrams of sash windows and sills, but
nothing that I could find that answers my question below. *Please can
someone advise me?

Normally, does the stone window sill in a typical 1880s victorian
terraced house (with sash windows) extend right across the whole depth
of the (8") wall?

I need to get a replacement sill from an architectural salvage yard
but I don't want to expose the old one (to measure the depth) until I
am ready to actually do the replacement so I'd like to estimate the
depth I need.

and is it sill or cill?

many thanks,

Robert

Do you mean the width of the window opening? if so yes as mine comes right
in to the end of the bricwork

No, not the width, I meant the depth whether the inside edge of the
sill is flush with the insied edge of the bricks. From what people
say,m that is not normally the case.
