Attic Laboratory Maynard Wing and Chapman Wing
The library was named after Caroline Skeel whose tremendous efforts assisted in Westfield College being recognised as a Faculty of Arts.
Caroline Skeel was Westfield’s only Lecturer in History at one point and she was also Librarian. She dedicated her spare time in the Public Record Office and the British Museum in order to pursue her own research.
Due to her ill health in 1907, she was resigned from her position. Her position as a Director of Studies in History was replaced by her previous teacher, Ellen McArthur.
