context_page_description: This is a list of halls of residence on the various campuses of the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, England.
  The University of Nottingham has a particularly well developed system of halls located on its campus. The halls acts a microcosms of the university at large and provide a community-level forum for the interaction of undergraduates, postgraduates and senior academics.
  As of 2020, incoming undergraduate students do not apply for a specific hall but a room type and a 'zone'; they can be allocated into any of the halls in that zone. The zones are as follows:
  Central Zone: Derby and Hugh Stewart
  North Zone: Cripps and Lenton & Wortley
  Sports Zone: Ancaster, Beeston, Nightingale, Rutland and Sherwood
  West Zone: Cavendish, Florence Boot and Willoughby
  Quiet Zone: Lincoln
  The halls are generally named either after counties, districts or places in the English East Midlands or significant people associated with the university. Beeston, Lenton, Lincoln, Derby, Rutland, Sherwood, Newark, Southwell, Ancaster and Melton halls fall into the former category; Hugh Stewart, Cripps, Cavendish, Nightingale, Florence Boot, Wortley and Willoughby into the latter.
context_section_description: Lenton and Wortley Hall (52.9432°N 1.1986°W) is a mixed undergraduate hall of residence. Like Cripps Hall, it was designed by Donald McMorran and George Whitby. It provides accommodation for around 283 students, making it the third largest hall on campus. Lenton and Wortley Hall is located in the 'North Zone', along with Cripps Hall, and lies between Derby Road and Beeston Lane. The Hall consists of blocks 1-12 and one en-suite block, Wortley House. 
  The hall results from the amalgamation of two previous halls of residence, New Lenton Hall and Wortley Hall, named after the local district of Lenton and Professor Harry Almond Saville Wortley, Principal of University College Nottingham from 1935 to 1947, as well as Lenton Hurst. Lenton Hurst, a large old house by the architect Arthur George Marshall next to the Lenton Hall (then so called), was until the 1970s used for student accommodation. The Hall is home to Hops, one of the four cafe-bars on campus. Between 1980 and 2006, the Warden was Mr William Hooker. Professor Glenn McDowell, who was previously warden of Nightingale Hall, was Warden until 2019.
  The hall is represented by its crest, which notably features the hall's symbolic animal, a squirrel, and a fir tree designed to represent the nearby fir trees; the large fir tree provides a focal point to the hall's main quad. The crest is believed to be designed around the conception of the halls and has the Latin motto "Desiderium nostrum servire", which translates to "Our desire to serve".
