Wardens of Manor Hall
Manor Hall has had six Wardens since it first opened in 1932, originally being a female only hall of residence we didn't see our first male Warden until 1984. In 2018 during a far reaching pastoral review Wardens were abolished across all University halls of residence with pastoral responsibility being centralised. Along with this went many of the Senior Residents/Tutors that made up the Hall's Senior Common Room.
