Old Court 1814

Old Court, 1814, by J. Greig

This print appeared in Dyer's History of the University and Colleges of Cambridge , published in 1814.

Items of note are:

• this was drawn before the battlements were erected, around 1819.
• this shows the dormer windows over the Old Hall, removed in 1846 when the flat ceiling was taken down. Five dormers are shown, probably incorrectly, as later prints show only four.
• the windows of Old Hall have plain mullions without tracery, as they were until 1846.

Drawn & Engraved by J. Greig.
