it's the light which adds life to stone...

PS: Pete, I like the yellow wheels (former F1/Lotus?) a lot. In an old mag I read an article about the first Super7, a one-seater with such wheels.

Thanks guys. I can't for the life of me remember who is depicted in the statue, I know that it is not Tennyson, Byron or Newton, who are all in there too. I've got some more shots somewhere, maybe I can read the inscription?

 

Bernd, yes it's a Lotus "wobbly web" wheel, these were fitted to many types, road, race and sports; although they were very expensive (and are even more so now)!

 

Cheers,

Pete.

Pete,

 

Perhaps I can help here (I was at another Cambridge College but had a very good friend at Trinity and know the chapel well) Its a statue of William Whewell who was a nineteenth century Master of the College and a notable mathemetician and philiospher.

 

 

Best wishes
