The main building consists of the dining hall, the on-site bar and the residential wings, each with individual names. Schuster (formerly known as Kent Hall) forms the main part of the Hall, and was formerly home to the mathematical physicist Arthur Schuster. As well as housing some students, it also contains the Hall's library and the Junior and Senior Common Rooms. The first extension to take place was the Dewar wing, named after the 4th Warden of the Hall Revd. Canon Lindsay Dewar (1922–1927), and was constructed in 1927. Manor and Summerfield are the two newest residential wings, and were both built by the university in the 1960s. They were constructed to replace two older houses (also called Manor and Summerfield) which had been used as student accommodation during the inter-war period.
