Hi again, everyone,
On my way back from the County Record Office I called in at the porter's lodge, Christ's College, Cambridge, and asked to see the William Lee stained glass window. I was sent first to the Chapel - which is really nice and open to the public - but The Rev. Lee was not staring down at me anywhere there.
Retraced my steps, and one of the porters took me to the Great Hall, but (and this is Cambridge University, remember), the dons were having their lunch in there at about 1 p.m. and he decided I couldn't go inside to get a viewing.
Made do with the window pointed out from the outside of the building; this particular porter knew the window, but had always thought it was a woman's figure because of the draped clothing. At least he's learnt something today.
If I want to see William Lee in all his glory I need to arrange an appointment with the Domestic Bursar...
I think your wonderful image on here will do quite well instead, Jane.
Keith
