Bishop Julius Hall of Residence ...

History

Bishop Julius Hall was founded on the 23rd of August 1917 by Bishop Churchill Julius. Originally known as "The Bishop's Hostel", it housed 15 young women studying teaching or at the University.^[1]

The hostel moved to 10 Cranmer Square in 1924 where it was located for 50 years before moving to the current Ilam campus in 1974.^[2]

Bishop Julius opened its doors to men in 1993 after struggling to fill the hall with women, and now has an even mix of male and female students.

Houses

Nancy Sims

This five-storied building was named after a generous benefactor of the Hall, Lady Agnes Sims. Lady Sims was married to cricketer and philanthropist Sir Arthur Sims, and known by all as Nancy or the 'little lady' - given her height of four foot eleven inches.

Cranmer

Cranmer was named after Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, because of the hall's former site in Cranmer Square. It was originally let as independent student flats but now is integrated with the rest of the hall.

Mabel Hendrie

Mabel Hendrie block was named after Mrs Mabel C. Hendrie, the Principal from 1928 - 1953, and provides three stories of accommodation.
