Description
The Old Granary at Darwin College is an early 19th-century building that was originally one of the granaries of Newnham Grange but underwent extensive remodeling around 1895. It is constructed of grey gault brick and has three storeys, with the third storey being an addition. The building features both sash and casement windows. The west wall includes a plat band with modern openings below and a round-headed and segmented-headed recess above. This wall has been significantly altered, with three blocked windows on the first floor, oriel windows above, and balconies. The roof is tiled.
