Description

Great Gate, Entrance to Trinity College, Cambridge. Text below based on 'Trinity College', in An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in the City of Cambridge (London, 1959), pp. 209-244 [1]:


17th-century metal plates with renewed painted inscriptions in Roman characters, that in the centre with 'Eduardus Tertius Fundator Aule Regis MCCCXXXVII', the rest identifying shields-of-arms in the wall-arcading above. Central panel carved with the Royal arms of Edward III (France (ancient) quartering England (Plantagenet)) with lion supporters and a small shield-of-arms below of John Blyth, Master of King's Hall 1488–98, chaplain to King Henry VII (father of Henry VIII). Shields in arcade surmounted by gilded 17th-century wrought-iron crowns, showing arms of the sons of King Edward III, from left to right:

  • Edmund, Duke of York
  • Lionel, Duke of Clarence
  • Edward The Black Prince, Prince of Wales, with two shields charged with ostrich feathers painted on the stonework below, and motto 'Ich Dien'
  • William of Hatfield (blank shield, died in infancy)
  • John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster
  • Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester
All surmounted by a statue of Henry VIII in a niche above. Much of this zone and the stage above belong to the work begun in 1518–19 but pressed on more actively from 1528 and finished by 1535.
