when the Chapel appears to have been completed by the addition of what is termed "le crest"; after which the ceremony of consecration was performed. The second is a list of plate, vestments, and church furniture appended to the statutes, from which we learn that besides the high altar there were two side altars. We know, however, that it was built in a good early pointed style by the discovery in 1864 of a Piscina (fig. 4), which

has been carefully preserved, behind the wainscoting in the south wall near the altar. The canopy of a niche, of equally good work, was found at the same time in the centre of the east wall, at about ten feet from the ground. It was in tolerable

preservation, and retained traces of gilding and colour; but unfortunately no steps were taken to preserve it, or any fragment of it. Three pieces of clunch, exceedingly well carved, painted and gilt, which may have formed part of a reredos, were found built into the wall above the Jacobean roof, when it was repaired in 1864. There were three buttresses on the south side, which still exist; but, to judge from Loggan (fig. 2), there were never any on the north side next the court.]

In the reign of Elizabeth Dr Harvey was Master (1560—84), of whom his contemporary Dr Caius records that he "extended the buildings there and made them more ornamental and ample'." The works alluded to are not specified, but it is known that the Library of the College, which forms one side of the Gardencourt, was built in this reign, and Warren tells us that

"On a Spare Leaf at ye End of The Old Vellum Book with green Strings (in wch Book I have transcrib'd ye College Statutes) are these following Memoranda entred (as I take it) in Dr Hervy's own Handwriting, viz. :

'Anno Dñi 1545, ye grownd on ye northe side of ye building of or college was taken yn and ye wall builded, wch befor was a laystowe. 1562, ye west bay window in ye Hall was sett up.

1563, ye stable was sett up wher it is. And ye same yere ye chambers & buildyng our ye botery & pantrie, ye entrie into ye ketchyn & ovr ye kechyn, ye larder & inner botrie was buylded &c.

1569, ye old wall on ye northe side of or back syde was taken down, & ye grownd wch was wt out or wall taken yn unto ye water syde all ye lengethe from ye stable wt ye retorn to ye prive & ye new wall sett up & a new crosse wall sevarying ye stableyard also made ye same yere.' The forementioned Date viz. 1569 appears still on ye outside of ye Corner of ye Wall at ye watergate next Garret Hostle Bridge, cut in Stone 1569 thus and over ye Date a Crescent for ye Founder's Arms." 9 June

The first memorandum refers to the acquisition of ground from the town and Michael House in 1544 as before related. The last gives the date at which the College completed their enclosure to the waterside on the north of their garden [by building the red-brick wall which is still standing (GM, fig 1)]. But the other two entries shew that the oriel of the Hall

was added or rebuilt at that time, and that the chambers over the Butteries and Kitchen were rebuilt, as indeed Loggan's view shews by the architectural style of their windows and gables. By the same test it may be affirmed that the extension of the Lodge by a south wing and a west wing is due to Harvey, as well as the Library opposite.

The south wing of the Lodge was a timber building, of which the first floor, as usual, overhangs the ground-chamber: the latter contained an older window and seems to have existed long before Harvey's time (fig. 2). The north wing contained a gallery on the first floor, 55 feet long, and a staircase next to the Master's Parlour, giving access to the gallery and to the Master's chamber over the Parlour' (fig. 1). The following clause of Harvey's will, dated Nov. 1, 1584, shews that he also fitted up all the apartments at the Lodge with wainscot panelling:

"I, Henry Harvey...do give to the Master Fellowes and Schollers of the said Colledg or Hall that shalbe next after my decease all seelings of Oke & Wainscott wth all Portalls in my Parlour, great chamber, study, Bedchamber, and chamber at my Gallery end in Cambridge to remaine there to the said Colledge for ever to the use of the Master & his successors."...

[We must now trace the changes that have taken place in the different offices to the present time.]

CHAPTER III.

HISTORY OF PARTICULAR BUILDINGS. RECENT CHANGES AND ADDITIONS.

LODGE.] The Lodge, in the state to which Harvey brought it, consisted of the Parlour at the south end of the Hall on the ground floor, the great chamber above it, the bed-chamber in the south wing with a room which was probably a study

1 These details are obtained by comparing together Loggan's view, the plan of 1731, and Harvey's will, MSS. Baker, iii. 318. Harvey died 20 Feb. 1584-5.

beneath it, and the gallery running westwards into the Fellows' garden, with a chamber projecting southwards from the west end of it, and a small staircase leading down to the garden. (fig. 1). The gallery was probably of wood, overhanging the basement story', as the south wing did (fig. 2). Besides the rooms already enumerated, there were garrets over all, except the gallery. This Lodge is conveniently placed in contact with both Hall and Chapel. In 1804 it is said to have been greatly improved by Sir William Wynne, Master (1803–1815), at an expense of nearly £1500; and in 1822 about £1800 was laid out on it; but the nature of these alterations is not recorded. In 1823 a range of six mean brick chambers with sash-windows was erected on the west side of the "Porter's Court," partly occupying the site of the south wing of the Lodge. It cost the College £1200 besides the part contained in the Master's Lodge, the cost of which, together with that of some alterations to the north front, was principally, if not entirely, defrayed by Dr Le Blanc, Master3 (1815-1843). In 1852 the interior of the Lodge was brought into its present elegant and commodious form by a series of ingenious alterations and partial rebuilding, under the direction of A. Salvin, Esq. [and at the cost of Dr T. C. Geldart, Master (1852-1877)].

[A study of the two plans (fig. 1) will shew the nature of these changes. The parlour on the ground floor at the south end of the College Hall, which had latterly been used as the kitchen of the Lodge, became the hall, with an entrance from the Porter's or New Court. The room over this, until then the dining-room, was converted into a drawing-room, with a south window looking into the garden. A Library was made at the east end of what had once been the "Long Gallery," and a dining-room at the west end, next the garden, partly extending into a new south wing, the rest of which is occupied by bedrooms. A cloister which had formed one side of the Library Court was filled up, and converted into offices, and a set of

1 [As at Pembroke College, in Loggan's view. Warren (p. 21) gives the dimensions of the gallery as 54 ft. 10in. long, by 10ft. 6in. broad. This shews that it occupied the whole of the building that ran westwards from the Hall.]

garrets over the Hall, which had become useless as College rooms owing to their floors being crossed by beams required for the support of the ceiling below, was added to the Lodge'.]

COMBINATION ROOM.] The present Parlour or Combination Room is over the kitchen, and was therefore built or rebuilt by Dr Harvey in 1563, who also in his will charged

"Robert Harvye his nephew his heirs &c. for ever, to deliver yearly for ever between the first day of May & the last day of August within the College or Hall commonly called Trinity Hall 3 loads of Charcoale at 13 sacks to the load & every sack to contain 5 Bushels at the least to the use of the Company, there to be spent nightly in ye common parlor or other common place within the said College as the Master of the said College shall think meet, beginning from the Feast of All Saints & to continue until the said 3 loads be spent, after 2 Bushels for every night, except the Mr of the Coll. shall for that quantity otherwise think meet, or else to pay yearly for ever to the Mr of the College or to his president in his absence sixty shillings in money before the first day of May yearly that they may provide with that money so many coals as that money will buy?."

The changes introduced into this room by Dr Chetwoode are thus described by Dr Warren. It has not since been altered. "A. D. 1730 the old wainscot in ye Parlour was taken down, and new wainscot put up in ye room of it, a passage made from ye Parlour into ye Library, ye Chimney alter'd and adorn'd with Marble, 3 Sashes set up instead of ye 3 former windows, ye Cieling and ye Floor done anew, also 2 new Tables of Mohogany wood and 17 Chairs placed instead of ye old Tables and Forms. All this was done at ye expence, and was ye voluntary gift, of Dr John Chetwode to ye College. The Floor of Norway oak: The Chimney piece and ye College Arms over it in Marble: Higher still ye Arms of ye Founder Mitred Carv'd in Wood : Furniture for ye Chimney: A Bofett: Mohogany window Seats: A Marble Table for ye Side-board on a Mohogany Stand: Brass Locks etc. The Foot of ye Staircase leading up to ye Parlour new done with Stone at ye Passage. The Stair-case new lin'd with Deal wainscot painted: New Stairs of Oak: A Venetian Window at ye Stairs Head. All Finish'd A.D. 1731. And accordingly there is a Date on a Label carv'd in wood over ye Chimney piece MDCCXXXI, and cost above Four Hundred Pounds. Dr Chetwode's coat of Arms carv'd in wood was set up in ye Parlour opposite to ye Founder's and College Arms at ye Charge of ye College A. D. 1734: Cost Five Pounds ten shillings"." 1 [These have now (Jan. 1879) been restored to the College.]

3 [Besides these changes the bill of "Cass and Partner," Masons, shews that a "larg 3 light window att west end" was blocked; the kitchen chimney diminished in breadth, so as to allow the two windows in the N. wall to be placed symmetrically; and that on the west side brought "near ye middle of y° room."
