"Standing outside the main entrance,
you can appreciate some of the design features....
The curved entrance colonnaded is flanked by two tall, copper clad pavilions....
The infilled arches of the colonnade are copied from Wren's Hampton Court and the Library at Trinity College, Cambridge....
The junction between the 1930s building and the medieval Great Hall to [the] right is marked by a projecting spiral staircase with a stone cap....
Over the arch to the main entrance is a work by H Carlton Attwood
representing Hospitality, inviting you to enter."
