Ascension of benefactors - a photo on Flickriver

Ascension of benefactors

            The south wall of the chapel of St John's College in Cambridge. Neatly stored in tabernacles around the exterior are benefactors of the college, forever caught in stony gestures with gently eroding fingers.
The obscured quartet here (from left to right) are Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford (1593-1641), William Gilbert (1544 - 1603), Roger Ascham (1515 - 1568) and Mary Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury (1556 - 1632).
St Johns was founded in 1511 (though it took them 470 years to get around to admitting women).
