The History of St Andrew's Hall
The History of St. Andrew's Hall a scrapbook Produced by The Museum of English Rural Life based on research by N. Rosalinde Downing, BA, MA At the heart of the new Museum of English Rural Life is a building of considerable historic interest – St Andrew’s Hall. St Andrew’s Hall was originally designed by the Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse as a private home for local man Alfred Palmer in 1880. The house was then known as East Thorpe. Alfred Palmer gave the house to the University to become the first women-only hall of residence in Reading. This scrapbook outlines the history of the building that is now proudly reincarnated as the Museum of English Rural Life. Photographs of St. Andrew's Hall shortly after it closed to students in 2001. Who was Alfred Palmer? Alfred Palmer was a member of Reading’s famous Palmer family, held the position of High Sheriff of Berkshire and was deeply involved in the University. Born in 1852 and educated in Tottenham, Alfred spent over fifty years working for the Huntley & Palmers biscuit company, chiefly as the head of the engineering department where he was responsible for the building and maintenance of the biscuit machinery. It is believed that Alfred Palmer was responsible for the variety of biscuits the Alfred Palmer company produced. “Had it not been for Alfred Palmer’s mechanical inventiveness, the firm would have been quite unable to turn out so many different kinds of biscuits of such varying shapes and textures.” T. Corley. Quaker enterprise in biscuits : Huntley and Palmers of Reading, 1822-1972. -
