===The Hall=== William Burges was commissioned to redecorate the Hall, but was forced to curtail his elaborate designs by a lack of funds. A reduced scheme was completed in 1877 but was substantially altered in the early-20th century, and in 1966 Wyatt's designs were restored using his original drawings (preserved in the College Library), under the direction of architect Emil Godfrey. The Hall was refurbished and redecorated in 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://worcestercollegelibrary.wordpress.com/2018/04/20/the-many-lives-of-worcester-college-hall/|title=The Many Lives of Worcester College Hall|last=Goodrum|first=Emma|date=2018-04-20|website=Treasures of Worcester College|language=en|access-date=2019-08-21}}</ref> {{quote box|width=25em|bgcolor=#c6dbf7|align=left|quote="Exit Burges.
