Newnham College: Newnham Walk: Clough Memorial Gates


(maps showing location: Google Streetmap Multimap )

Date photograph taken: 22 June 2000

Date built: 1893

Architect: Basil Champneys

A beautiful bronze gate, designed by Champneys and made by Thomas Elsley. It was badly damaged in 1921 when a group of male undergraduates tried to smash their way into the college using a coal trolley after the Senate had voted not to admit women to membership of the university, and it was repaired by a fund into which undergraduates of all Cambridge colleges contributed.

In 2008-2009 it was removed for restoration.
