This is our Archivist dressed as a Victorian Fellow. He is standing on the Bridge of Sighs with the Old Library in the background.

One Fellow who might have dressed like this was Charles Cardale Babington(1808-1895). He was a Professor of Botany. Some people called him 'Beetles Babington' because he collected beetles. Later on in his life he became interested in the history of the College. When the Old Chapel was taken down he wrote a book all about it.
