About This Item
(Cambridge: Printed for the College, 1980) 0950108537. Large 8vo; original red cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. viii + 183, incl. index; plates; figures; folding colour plan of the College and grounds. Very good condition. "But it is more than just a description of buildings, being also an absorbing account of the great effort of Masters and Fellows to maintain and develop the College that was growing up on the Foundation of 1511. The narrative avoids technical discussion, but more details will be found in the Appendixes for readers who wish to go deeper into such matters. Mr Crook's earlier book 'From Penrose to Cripps' told the story from 1885 to 1978. The present book goes back to the beginning and brings the story up to 1885." .
