St John's College, Cambridge
Surely some of the most beautiful architecture in the world - St John's College, one of Cambridge's University's oldest and biggest colleges, boasts several architectural styles and features. This piece focuses on the neo-Gothic New Court, the edge of red brick Third Court and the world-famous Bridge of Sighs connecting the two over River Cam. A little swan is visible in the foreground, disturbing the water - supposedly, Fellows of St John's are the only people outside the royal family in the United Kingdom allowed to eat unmarked mute swans, although this is both contested and not practised! I studied Modern Languages at St John's so it was a real pleasure to go and and pore over her beautiful settings once again.
