Leslie Stephen Room
The Leslie Stephen Room, aka the LSR, is named after Trinity Hall alumnus and father of author Virginia Woolf, Sir Leslie Stephen. Located above the college kitchen, this room is often used for MCR functions such as the McMenemy Seminars and our recent Wine Tasting event. It is a lovely room for lectures or more peaceful functions and can be booked by members of the college for appropriate activities.
The Leslie Stephen room is best reached by a staircase located directly across the hallway from the dining hall. A plaque on the wall will guide you in and up.
Bridgetower Room
From the Junior Bursar’s office: the “Bridgetower Room” is named after the classical violinist George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower. This child prodigy made his debut in April 1789 in Paris to rave reviews at the age of only 9 or 10. In 1791 at the age of 11, the Prince of Wales placed him under his protection and he became the first violinist in the Prince’s private orchestra. During 1802 he made friends with Ludwig von Beethoven, who described Bridgetower as “an absolute master of his instrument”. Beethoven composed his Kreutzer Sonata for the young Afro-European musician and personally performed the sonata for violin and piano with Bridgetower. Elected to the Royal Society of Musicians in 1807, Bridgetower then attended Trinity Hall in 1811 where he earned the degree of Bachelor of Music.
Lecture Theatre / Terrace Room
The Terrace Room is also known as the Old JCR. Recently (late 2000s) refurbished, these two rooms are an excellent venue for meetings of larger societies.
