Kidderpore Hall

Dudin Brown Wing                                                                                          Attic Laboratory

Constance Maynard’s reaction to the new location of Westfield College was a disappointed reaction. She felt that it did not suit the image of Westfield College.. However, it became apparent that Kidderpore Hall and its associated features provided an environment in which the College could grow without compromising its well-known identity. 

The mansion was built in 1840s and Falconer Macdonald’s extension in the south direction gave way to form the Dining Hall. This nearly recreated the ambiance of a country estate that had eluded the College during its initial opening.  

In the residential wing, eventually called Maynard’s wing, there was accommodation for 44 students and the small group of staff that was the Resident Lecturers. There was even space to dedicate a room to old students who often had a tendency to return to Westfield College for a visit.
