One day later, 27th March 1359, the statutes were ratified with seals of the Master & Fellows of #ClareCollege & the Chancellor of #CambridgeUniversity. The college seal commemorates the occasion, showing the statutes, which in turn mention the Master, Fellows, & seal.

#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.

Clare College Cambridge is celebrating its 700th anniversary with stories of 70 individuals spanning the centuries - 7 each month, wonderfully diverse.

@RichardAshwell In my mind's eye these are among the most beautiful rivers in the British Isles, as when #TinternAbbey was in its prime & the #LadyOfClare presided at #Usk. I hope they will be again.
In her 1359 statutes for #ClareCollege Cambridge, the #LadyOfClare stipulated a schedule for religious services, including many "with notes"– illustrated here in the sumptuous breviary of her close friend #MarieDeStPol.
