Description

King's College, specifically the South Range of the First Court, including the Library and the former Provost's Lodge, was built between 1824 and 1828, designed by architect William Wilkins. The building is constructed from Ketton stone ashlar and features slate roofs in the Tudor-Gothic style. It consists of three blocks, each three storeys high, connected together. The Hall has ten bays and is topped with two timber lanterns. The interior is panelled, and the glass is mostly of heraldic type. There are seven bay blocks on either side of the Hall, with the West block housing the Combination Room and the Orangery. The Library's ground floor was remodelled in the 20th century, creating an open way through it. The North front has seven bays, while the South front has six. Inside, the Library features six bays with a panelled ceiling and original oak bookcases. The former Provost's Lodge is turreted and embattled, with oriel windows and a doorway that has a four-centred head. The interior includes several impressive plaster ceilings with Neo-Greek decoration and carved stone fireplaces, along with other notable interior fittings.
