Explore: Aug 29, 2008 #365. Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge. This, in fact, is at the old Victorian building of the IoC -- a dramatic change from the fancy new block I've been featuring so far in this special set. The writing at the top of the door, surprise surprise, is "([Institut]e of Criminology".

Explore: Aug 3, 2008 #465. Peterhouse College Chapel, University of Cambridge. And now for a bit of colour:-) Peterhouse has among the most colourful stained glass anywhere! These ones date from 1855 and are by Maximilian Ainmüller of Munich (they replaced the originals which were destroyed by Parliamentarians in 1643). Founded in 1284, Peterhouse is the oldest Cambridge college.

What a pleasure it is to be in Cambridge:-) I spent the morning today just enjoying the stained glass of Peterhouse. Gorgeous!

Peterhouse College Chapel, Cambridge. Built in 1632 by the then Master of the college, Matthew Wren (the famous architect Christopher Wren’s uncle). This is detail of the orginal stained glass in the east window above the altar. It is based on Rubens' 1620 painting Le Coup de Lance (Christ on the Cross). The other (more colourful) stained glass in the chapel date from the 1850s as the originals were destroyed (see the previous photo in my "Cambridge Colleges" set).
