He also appears to have been the first author to suggest a connection between the two ecclesiastical staves and the two patron saints of the College, but gave no authority for this idea. In the accompanying depiction of the badge, the appearance of the cross had changed: previous depictions were fairly unanimous that it was a cross pattée, but he appears to have changed the cross to look more like the cross borne by St Margaret of Antioch in depictions of that saint. One wonders whether he did that to artificially reinforce his theory connecting the staves with the saints. Speculation On the Armorial Ensigns of the University and Colleges of Cambridge, and of the five Regius Professors, by William Henry St John Hope, in The Archaeological Journal, Vol. 51(1894):299–​324; Archaeology is usually associated with the discovery of artefacts, but it is important to note that this is not always the case. In Trench 2 we found a small number of typical Bronze Age finds, including flint, pottery and animal bone, but while uncovering the timbers in Trench 3, we came across no other material culture except for the wood itself. Evaluations by design only expose small areas of archaeology, in this case approximately 0.45% of the monument. It is clear from these two trenches that within this upper deposit there are currently few finds emerging.The University of Cambridge is committed to ensuring that we offer admission to students of the highest academic potential, irrespective of social, racial, religious and financial considerations. To achieve this, every applicant is considered individually in an holistic assessment using all the information available to us. As part of this process, the University considers additional information that provides a more complete picture of the educational and social circumstances that underpin students’ applications, academic performance, and performance in our assessments. Various statements were shone onto the chapel walls including “not in our names” and “Cambridge students and staff demand a ceasefire”. Similar to the current U.S. flag, the Grand Union Flag has 13 alternating red and white stripes, representative of the Thirteen Colonies. The upper inner corner, or canton, features the flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain, of which the colonies were subjects. On the day of the Coronation, Saturday 6 May, bell ringing will form part of the celebrations, arranged by the University Bellringer, Dr Frank King. Members of the Cambridge University Guild of Change Ringers will participate in ringing at churches around Cambridge and nationally.

In our last blog we discussed how we’re using photogrammetry to help us document this evaluation’s archaeology and generate the plans that form the basis for our wood recording. Alongside this technique, we also use more traditional record photographs to help us capture the project’s archaeology. We’re fortunate enough to have one of the Cambridge Archaeological Unit’s photographers, David Matzliach, working as part of the team and he’s been providing us with some fantastic images.

A Caius spokesperson said: “The amended flag policy was reached following an extensive consultation period which included student representatives throughout. Student representatives were invited to present to the General Meeting on [January] 29th and were in attendance at the College Council meeting on February 2nd . Some of the secondary schools act as Village Colleges, institutions unique to Cambridgeshire. For example, Comberton Village College.

Two submissions referenced the county’s linkage with Cambridge University and the Fen tiger, a common theme in the county. Around 1733, the Boar’s Head badge was carved in wood as part of the new panelling in the Hall. It has been re-painted many times since then, so we cannot say what the original colourings were. This is, in fact, the earliest known depiction of the Boar’s Head badge in or on the buildings of the College. Large areas of the county are extremely low-lying and Holme Fen is notable for being the UK's lowest physical point at 2.75m (9ft) below sea level. The highest point of the modern administrative county is in the village of Great Chishill at 146m (480ft) above sea level. However, this parish was historically a part of Essex, having been moved to Cambridgeshire in boundary changes in 1895. The historic county top is close to the village of Castle Camps where a point on the disused RAF airfield reaches a height of 128 metres (420ft) above sea level (grid reference TL 63282 41881). On 6–7 June 2015, the inaugural Tour of Cambridgeshire cycle race took place on closed roads across the county. The event was an official UCI qualification event, and consisted of a Time Trial on the 6th, and a Gran Fondo event on the 7th. The Gran Fondo event was open to the public, and over 6000 riders took part in the 128km (80mi) race. [30] the body that administered the territory until 1837.

The University Bellringer, Dr Frank King, will arrange for ringing on future anniversaries of the King's Accession. In 2002, the conservation charity Plantlife unofficially designated Cambridgeshire's county flower as the Pasqueflower.

The flag is seen by a signpost here, The History of the University of Cambridge, by Thomas Fuller, Section V, ¶¶31–​39, pp. 79–​82; (OCLC 752917426)We use three types of information about an applicant’s school/college to supplement their application, of which two are used to produce flags: Output Area Classification (OAC2011) – a classification of areas produced by the Office of National Statistics using data from the 2011 census. Since 2014, the Cambridge Admissions Office has conducted research into how these classifications interact with underrepresentation at Cambridge and other indicators of socio-economic and educational disadvantage including household income and parental occupation. This research allows us to flag applicants whose home postcodes indicate they are resident in areas with less advantaged socio-economic characteristics and/or low progression to the University of Cambridge. All applicants will be asked about the disruption caused to their education by the COVID-19 pandemic, so this does not need to be explained via the Extenuating Circumstances Form; personal disruption (such as resulting caring responsibilities or bereavement), should be, however. Geodemographic data from postcodes All three days of the Coronation Weekend, including the Monday Bank Holiday, will be 'flag days' in the University, which means flags will be raised across the University and Colleges and Cambridge Doctors will wear their scarlet 'festal' gowns at the services. Three trenches will be dug to assess the condition of the post alignment/timber causeway. These are designed to look at both the vertical and horizontal timbers.

Use the position you occupy in public life as one of the most well-known universities in the world to set an example for others, to be on the right side of history and stop enabling this genocide.” A white boar (the complete beast, not just the head) was indeed the badge of King Richard III of England. Richard’s wife Anne Neville was the third Queen consort to be patroness of the College. Both Anne and Richard were great benefactors of the College, although their benefactions were subsequently lost to King Henry VII. Malim, Tim (September 2010).

Gonville and Caius College Council has decided that only the College flag will be flown from the flagpole (02/02). This brings an end to the six year tradition of flying the pride flag and more recently the progress flag that was flown during LGBT history month last year.
