Trinity College, Cambridge --
Stained Glass in the Chapel Windows North
3 |
|
I couldn't
find many pictures of Henry Holiday's Stained Glass windows in Trinity
College, Cambridge so I decided to create my own pages. The windows are
numbered 1 to 8 from the Ante Chapel to the Altar. I have tried to
identify the person depicted in each window and provide links with
information about that person. If you have any corrections, comments or
advice please contact me at john-saville@ntlworld.com. |

Memo: Before Trinity there were earlier colleges on this
site. Edward II funded some "King's Scholars" in 1317, and Edward III
established a college called King's Hall on what is now the north side
of Trinity in 1337. Meanwhile Hervey de Stanton, Chancellor to Edward
II, had established a college called Michaelhouse on what is now the
south side of Trinity. When Henry VIII founded Trinity he absorbed
King's Hall and Michaelhouse, and some smaller nearby hostels, into his
new foundation. |
