We're sad to announce the passing of Former Warden Richard Davies, who was Warden in hall for four years between 1977 and 1981.

Here he is being presented with a gift from the hall on his retirement.

In 1983, many Anselmians attended the solemn burial of Arthur the fish, tragically found deceased. #Slems #HallPet #StudentLife

Saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Floreat Aula Sancti Anselmi.

[St Anselm Hall @St_Anselm_Hall]

It’s with great sadness that we announce that Dave Lindsay, the chef in Slems for many years, has passed away after a brief illness.

Dave was a major part of the hall experience for countless students throughout all the years that he worked in Slems.

We're proud to announce a new series of scholarships available to students joining us at #StAnselmHall in the next academic year!

These scholarships will reward the best and brightest students of our hall, and aim to stoke their passion and creativity to better our community.

Happy St Anselm Day!

Today is the feast day of St Anselm, which we celebrate annually in hall. Since we can't be together this year, here are some photos of our celebrations from 2 years ago, when @BishManchester joined us for our service and judged our bake-off!

We loved reading about about the courtship adventures of Warden Lindsay Dewar (1922-1928), as written by his students. More coming later this month... #Hallmagazine #Sneakpeak

Delighted to see this formal hall photo from Geoffrey North's time as Warden #slems #formalphoto

[St. Anselm Hall Archives @slemshistory]

Although it was an all male hall, Slems historically had longstanding relationships with female halls like Langdale, where the owner of this book lived in the 1950s' #IWD2021 #InternationalWomensDay

Super excited to receive this book, the story of the first Slemsman who spent several years as a miner in Durham before being taken under Rev. Allworthy's care after teaching himself Greek. @DurhamMiners @StAnselmAssoc
