The architectural history of Downing College, Cambridge, including a brief history of the Downing family, from pre-foundation in 1800 to the present day. A highly illustrated book with drawings by the architects involved, photographs of the key people in the story and of the site and buildings.

A gallery of images documents the colleges, the churches, the streets and the river, while also providing a glimpse into Cambridge University life. A short introduction gives a historical summary of the city from its earliest days and the arrival of the university in the 13th century. This book is a must for anyone who loves Cambridge.
