The pages of the book exemplify bas-de-page illustrations, meaning that the visual work is positioned at the bottom of the page and below a block of text.
384 illustration scenes are featured in the lower margin of the book.
Kathryn Smith identifies the manuscript's use of a frame border made out of marginal illustrations as a technique that creates an overall style.
This illustrated boarder completely surrounds the text.
The beginnings of the various devotional texts are presented to the reader by display pages with miniature marginal illustrations.
  
Marginal scenes with religious prayer text written in Anglo-Norman make up the body of secular illustrations in the Taymouth Hours.
The story of Bevis of Hampton, the protagonist of an English verse romance tale, is transposed visually on the folio pages 8v to 12.
Written in 1300, the tale of Bevis of Hampton was a popular Matter of England romance that has stood the test of time and is the only English verse romance that never had to be rediscovered.
Another Matter of England romance character seen on folio pages 12v to 17 is Guy of Warwick, a figure who takes on a similar literary role such as Bevis of Hampton.
Both secular poems were extremely popular at the proposed time of construction of the Taymouth Hours, and have appeared in other manuscripts up until the early 16th century.
Kathryn Smith points to the inclusion of these popular Matter of England characters in the manuscript as further evidence to indicate Eleanor of Woodstock as the book's recipient because Guy of Warwick and Bevis of Hampton were quintessentially English in their characterization and would have reminded Eleanor of her home while abroad.
