This #chromolithography example shows the inside of the chapel St. John’s College Cambridge. This picture was made around 1840; later, in 1860, the chapel was demolished & replaced with a Victorian Gothic Revival thing by Sir Gilbert Scott.
At least six colours here i think, so 6 plates, although sometimes they overprinted to get mixed colours.

What a beautiful space. Reminds me of the Mendel center in Brno, Czech Republic, nowadays used as a conference center.
In our college, Pembroke, we've refurbished a former United Reform Church into a 220-seat auditorium. A fantastic venue for music concerts and also used daily during term time for lectures, and as a conference site. In the bell tower, we've built a rock climbing gym – just opened this September 2025.
A great use of a great space made of wood and stone, with wonderful acoustics. The college graciously refurbished the organ and installed a grand piano too.

CW: Running, selfie
The best time to find out you've got the beginnings of a cold is certainly not a few hundred metres into a 10K run, when you suddenly find it difficult to breath.
I struggled to my finish in 53:47 in Grantchester this morning, stopping after 2K to do my inhaler. Afterwards, a guy said to me he'd been following me most of the way and I was really pushing it, which helped him get his PB. Different strokes for different folks!

CW: River Cam, UKpol
"City councillor Elliot Tong (Green, Abbey) said: “The River Cam is currently having an existential crisis. Without urgent action, both Jesus Lock island and Baits Bite Lock island will fail. This could significantly lower the water level and expose residents to centuries of filth that has sunk to the bottom of the river after being dumped there."
He put forward a motion to the full council on 24 July calling it to write to the secretary of state now explaining the need for funding for the repairs. His motion also proposed that responsibility for overseeing the River Cam should be transferred to any future unitary authority that covers Cambridge following the planned local government reorganisation.
But an amendment to the motion was put forward by Cllr Martin Smart (Lab, King’s Hedges), removing these points."#RiverCam #CamConservators #GreenParty #GPEW #CambridgeUK #UKpol #UKpolitics #JesusLock #BaitsBiteLock #CambridgeGreens #LocalGovernment #RiverConservation

Sixth: "To bee or not to bee", where we mourn the now departed hairy-footed flower bees and the many species of mining bees – see you next Spring –, and welcome a whole new range of bees, awoken at the right time to feast on the pink lampwick, bright yellow fear-leaf yarrow, and deep pink Deutzia bushes. The rooster includes mason bees, leaf-cutter bees, sweat bees, armoured-resin bees, masked bees, and the spectacular European woolcarder bee. The last two kinds are putting in quite the territorial control and mating show.

Fifth: "Fantastic colours on the wing", where we linger on the many beautiful flies that inhabit the college gardens, from beeflies to bright emerald greenbottle flies, hoverflies, dagger flies, assassin flies, and many others, plus the expected set of bees for late April and early May in Cambridge, UK.

I did the Cogwheel Canter this morning in Girton; 10K in just under 50 mins. My Running Events Cambridgeshire t-shirt got its first outing. I'm a little under the weather so my throat and lungs didn't thank me, but I need to keep getting the runs in ahead of my Cambridge Half Marathon run for Centre 33 in March. Please sponsor me!

In 2020, I ran my first half marathon for Centre 33, who provide counselling and support for young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. In 2025, I'm doing it again! In 10 weeks I'm aiming to beat my PB of 1:38:00 at the Cambridge Half, which I set in 2020.

CW: Death, medicine
An awful case of medical negligence at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge led to the death of a baby. A routine vitamin K injection would have saved his life, but it wasn't given though it was recorded as done.
