Description
Selwyn College Hall, dated 1909, was designed by Grayson and Ould in the style of the 17th century. The building features a large Jacobean entrance with a stone double staircase. It stands two storeys tall, with a low semi-basement beneath the main hall. The hall has a pierced parapet. At the dais end of the hall, there is a pedimented Corinthian feature made of oak, which was originally installed in the English Church at Rotterdam in 1708.
