#ClareCollege is celebrating its 700th anniversary. However it was #OTD 667 years ago, 26th March 1359, that Elizabeth #LadyofClare drew on decades of experience & signed the statutes. She wrote of education’s value to individuals & society, & her vision of one community of fellows & students, chosen on merit. Her principles & her language continue to inspire.

@iconicfishes In 1638-40 the builders of Clare Bridge were inspired by #IconicFishes - they included two seahorses! Thoughts on why?
@cambridgediary.bsky.social This is gorgeous!
Do you happen to have closeups of the decorative panels on Clare Bridge?
