History
(1753-1837) Knight, architect.
In 1792, John Soane was commissioned to make alterations to the Hall, which at that point was still in its medieval location on the west side of Gonville Court. A plaster ceiling was introduced, concealing the original open roof, north and east windows were added, and a chimney erected.
