Cambridge 21, 22 July

We spent a couple of days in Cambrige with Jenny and David. Many of the colleges set up as hotels during holiday time. Some of the photos are unlabelled as we went to so many colleges and now they all look a bit the same.

We stayed at Christ's College. This is the entry gate on the street.

 

Inside was quiet and very spacious.

Kettle's Yard, the amazing house and gallery of the late Jim Ede, a curater of the Tate Gallery in the 20's and 30', and his wife Helen. It is a unique house with a distinctive collection of 20th century art, and a gallery exhibiting contemporary and modern art.
