FAMOUS MEN WHEN  

SCHOLARS WELL KNEW THE  

BRIDGE OF SIGHS  

MONO the great halls of learning in  

whose ancient walls are  

reflected in the quiet waters of the River  

Cam, is St. John’s College, founded in  

1511. It was established on the site of  

the thirteenth century Hospital of St.  

John, by Lady Margaret Beaufort,  

Countess of Richmond and mother of the  

Tudor King, Henry VII (1485-1509).  

She was also the foundress of neighbour-  

ing Christ’s College.  

St. John’s is entered by one of the  

most graceful of all Cambridge gateway-  

towers, completed in 1520. In the first of  

the four Courts is the large Chapel, built  

by Sir George Scott in 1869, which re-  

placed much older building. On  

window in the kitchen may be seen  

memorial inscription to the poet Words-  

worth, who was distinguished Member  

of the College. His portrait by Pickers-  

gill hangs in the Hall. Other famous  

members of St. John’s College were Lord  

Palmerston, Samuel Butler, William  

Wilberforce and John Ruskin.  

The second Court is fine example of  

Elizabethan brickwork: on the north side  

is the Combination Room, described as  

one of the finest panelled galleries in  

England and possessing richly decorated  

plaster ceiling. Among the many valu-  

able manuscripts and early printed  

books in the Library in the third Court  

is vellum copy of Cranmer’s Bible.  

From this Court the Bridge of Sighs,  

built in 1831, spans the River Cam, which,  

in making its placid way through the  

chain of gardens and lawns behind the  

Colleges, completes the unexcelled beauty  

of the region known as â€œThe Backs.”  

Here in setting of drooping willow-  

trees, limes and centuries-old green  

lawns is the pride and glory of  

Cambridge.
