Cambridge Car share, limited numbers, 20 max.
Madingley Rd park & ride is closest to our venues.

Returning to Cambridge for more exploring, Westminster College, then with Yvonne Pinchen
Sidney Sussex College & Emmanuel College.

A break for lunch & then the Parker Library.

The College is a gorgeous building, built in 1899, architect Henry Hare & has a very Arts & Crafts
feel, with a slightly later chapel with stained glass from the early 1920s, by Douglas Strachan.
There will be a tour and then tea, coffee & biscuits in the Dining Hall.

Yvonne will take us to two new venues for us and then there is The Parker Library at Corpus Christie, the College’s
greatest national heritage treasure, internationally renowned for its important collection of
medieval and renaissance manuscripts, and valuable holdings of early printed books. It is one of
the most significant surviving renaissance libraries in Europe.

The cost for the day excluding lunch is £27. Please pay by cheque payable to Sudbury u3a sent to me at Pot Kilns,
Gestingthorpe, Halstead CO9 3BH or by bank transfer to Sudbury u3a (Lloyds Bank).
