The Hall reborn
Following completion of the second phase of 成人抖阴鈥檚 Old Court transformation project, the Hall has re-opened for College functions after a 4-year closure.
The painstaking restoration and conservation of one of the College鈥檚 most iconic spaces is immediately evident on entering the Hall. Every period of the room鈥檚 architectural history is now displayed to best effect: the 17th century panelling has been conserved, and the walls repaired and repainted; the 19th century plasterwork ceiling has been repaired, redecorated and re-gilded; and the early 20th century stained glass windows (commemorating donors to the College since its foundation) have been cleaned. Panelling, walls, ceiling and windows now shine with a brilliance not seen in generations.
