Description
The Dining Hall at Bradfield College, located approximately 30 metres northwest of the Gatehouse and Bursar's Office, was built in 1856 by Sir George Gilbert Scott in a neo-Gothic style. The structure is made of flint with brick dressings, lacing courses, diaper work, tiled window heads, and angle buttresses, with elements of Bath stone. It features an old tile roof with catslides over the aisles and four five-cusped leaded light triangular dormers on the north and south sides. The hall consists of four bays with aisles, including four three-light 20th-century windows on the south side, two two-light windows on the east side with a circular sexafoil window in the gable above, and a cusped lancet at the end of the south aisle. The west side has triple lancets with a circular sexafoil window in the gable above and a cusped lancet at the end of the south aisles.
Inside, the hall features coupled roof trusses with double-braced tile beams, queen posts, and longitudinally braced king posts that rise from collars. There is a doorway on the west side with a carved lintel and a Greek inscription, and a fireplace on the north side with a large stone hood supported by shafts with carved capitals.
The stained glass includes east windows by Wailes and west windows by Burne-Jones from 1859, noted for their strong colors and advanced designs for the period.
