Jesus College, Cambridge - a photo on Flickriver

Jesus College, Cambridge

            The main entrance to Jesus College, Cambridge. The long paved, walled path from Jesus Lane to the Gatehouse is known as "the Chimney". The explanation may lie in the fact that the Gate Tower was once crowned by ornate brick chimneys. It has also been suggested that the term might derive from the French ‘cheminée’, which was simply the word for a path. The route of this main entrance to the site was the same in the time of the priory, but the brick walls on either side date from later centuries.

The Gate Tower was built when the College was founded, when the dilapidated priory buildings were remodelled and faced with the present light red brick. Above the gateway arch are the arms of King Henry VII, who authorised the founding of the College, with those of the diocese of Ely and of the College's founder Bishop Alcock. In the niche above is a more recent statue of Alcock.
