Description
The Great Hall range to Kings College School is a school hall and classrooms built in 1899 by Sir B Fletcher. It is constructed of red brick with cream stone dressings and features a pitched slate roof. The building is two storeys tall and designed in the Perpendicular style. The elevation facing Southside Common has three main bays, with two slightly projecting bays treated as towers, complete with decorative parapets and corner buttresses. The center features a square-headed moulded entrance with three traceried lights and the school crest above, flanked by three-light mullioned and transomed square-headed windows. On the first floor, there is a prominent seven-light Perpendicular style traceried hall window with a transom, topped by a coped gable. Above the great hall window, there is a blind canopied niche. The returns and rear of the building are treated similarly, with buttressing. The interior of the hall remains largely unaltered.
