From Capturing Cambridge website:
William Sindall (1853-1934) was the youngest son of a farmer (who doubled as a maltster & brewer) in Isleham. He started life as a carpenter in Cambridge, but by 1880 he already had his own building business which specialised in quality work for the university. His two elder sons were killed/died of wounds in WW1, but his youngest son carried on the firm.
Founded by William Sindall early in the 20th century, the firm is believed to have started in Mill Road before moving to Newnham Mill. At the end of the 1940s the firm was in Gloucester Street up Castle Hill. They moved in the 1950s to the Cherry Hinton Road site because of a planning scheme that would have seen a new roundabout at the top of Castle Hill with a new road through the old Sindalls site parallel with Magrath Road. This project was eventually aborted.
According to the Cambridge News article of 1964, at that time the firm employed around 1,200 people. The managing directors were the two brothers H D and F A Ridgeon.
Martin Nockolds from the firm Martin Nockolds and Sons of Saffron Waldon, land agents and surveyors. They were agents to the Visitor and the College.
Attended the Audit meeting of the College. Managed the college estates.
'The head of the firm was a fine figure of a man, well over six feet tall, with a dignified carriage. He knew his work thoroughly' [A.S. Ramsey Bygone Days at Magdalene]
Frank Plumpton Ramsey (/ˈræmzi/; ) was a British philosopher, mathematician, and economist who made major contributions to all three fields before his death at the age of 26. He was a close friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein and, as an undergraduate, translated Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus into English. He was also influential in persuading Wittgenstein to return to philosophy and Cambridge. Like Wittgenstein, he was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the secret intellectual society, from 1921.
Son of Arthur Stanley Ramsey (a mathematician, Tutor, Bursar and President of Magdalene College) and Mary Agnes Stanley (1875–1927).
He was the eldest of two brothers and two sisters, and his brother Michael Ramsey, later became Archbishop of Canterbury.
Educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied mathematics becoming Senior Wrangler.
Was a student of John Maynard Keynes and an active member in the Apostles.
He was immensely widely read in English literature, enjoyed Classics, and was very interested in politics.
In October 1924, with John Maynard Keynes's support, he became a fellow of King's College, Cambridge.
He married Lettice Baker in August 1925. After Ramsey's death, Lettice Ramsey opened a photography studio in Cambridge with photographer Helen Muspratt.
In 1926 he became a university lecturer in mathematics and later a Director of Studies in Mathematics at King's College.
He developed jaundice after an abdominal operation and died on 19 January 1930 at the age of 26. There is a suspicion that the cause of his death might be an undiagnosed leptospirosis with which Ramsey, an avid swimmer, could have become infected while swimming in the Cam.

Louis Emanuel Jean Guy de Savoie-Carignan de Soissons (1890–1962), architect, was professionally known as Louis de Soissons.
The first major commission of the practice he set up (Louis de Soissons Partnership) was the master plan for Welwyn Garden City (1920). Louis de Soissons was appointed architect for the town in 1920 and the practice was significantly involved in its development over the next 60 years.
After the Second World War the firm expanded to Plymouth and Exeter to carry out a wide variety of architectural work.
Nearly 50 war cemeteries were designed for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Greece and Italy.
Later the practice's buildings included a number of important buildings, such as the Wellcome Foundation, The Leathersellers Company (a reconstruction in 1948 after wartime bombing), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in Regent's Park and the International Wool Secretariat in Carlton Terrace, London. He also designed the Hobbs' Gates at The Oval cricket ground, in memory of Sir Jack Hobbs, and a statue of George VI.
The Crown Estates Commissioners retained the firm to restore Cumberland and Chester Terraces, by John Nash.
Work was carried out on seating for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
Work for academic institutions included Eton College, and Exeter and Cambridge Universities.
The firm changed tack in the 1960s, and commercial work such as the Brighton Marina shows a greater deference to modernism. The firm's headquarters are now in Luton, Bedfordshire.
Born at Crayke, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the eldest son of William Inge, curate of Crayke, and his wife, Susanna.
He was educated by his parents until he was thirteen and then won a scholarship to Eton College in 1874. There he met A.C. Benson (Master of Magdalene College, 1915-1925), who became a lifelong friend, and with whom he was caned for making an indoor bonfire out of blotting paper.
1879-1883 - undergraduate at King's College, Cambridge. He won the Craven, Bell, and Porson scholarships, took a first in both parts of the classical tripos (1882–3), and was senior-chancellor's medallist. Both Inge and Benson were susceptible to bouts of acute depression, which Inge attributed to overwork.
After graduating he spent four years teaching at Eton but felt he was not suited to the role. In 1889 he became a fellow of Hertford College, Oxford, where he taught classics and developed an interest in philosophy.
1888 - ordained deacon but religious doubts meant that he did not proceed to the priesthood for four years.
1905 - appointed vicar of All Saints', Ennismore Gardens, in central London. The same year he married Mary Catharine (Kitty) Spooner (1880–1949). Her father was archdeacon of Canterbury, her uncle, William Spooner was warden of New College. This marriage was very successful, and Kitty succeeded in alleviating Inge's depression and in helping him to overcome his shyness.
1907-1911 - Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity and Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge.
1911-1934 - Dean of St Paul's. He hated choral music, found the daily services 'dreary and interminable’, and was often seen reading a book in his stall. As a modernist he was often at odds with his Anglo-Catholic canons. He had been appointed in order to revive the literary eminence which St Paul's had previously enjoyed and in this respect he was a great success. His writings attained their widest readership through his weekly columns in the Evening Standard, which ran, with some interruptions, from 1921 to 1946. These articles were on literary, political, and religious themes.
Between the wars - Inge was one of the most vociferous defenders of the rights of the middle classes. One of his most pressing social concerns was the shortage of domestic servants, which he called 'a matter of national importance'. Inge was also concerned that the working classes were breeding too fast and that unless measures were taken to stop them they would overwhelm the middle classes. His interest in eugenic theory had deepened through his friendship with Sir Francis Galton, and he served on the council of the Eugenics Society.
1920s - was a leading spokesman for the modernist wing of the Church of England, becoming president of the Modern Churchmen's Union (1924–34).
He was made CVO in 1918 and KCVO in 1930. He received a BD and DD from Cambridge in 1909, was an honorary fellow of several Oxford and Cambridge colleges and was elected FBA in 1921.
Inge and his wife Kitty had three sons and two daughters. In 1923 his 11 year old daughter, Paula, died of diabetes. HIs youngest son Richard was an undergraduate at Magdalene, 1934-1937 but was killed in an RAF training flight in 1941.
1934 - he retired to Brightwell Manor near Wallingford. He was not a pacifist but did oppose Britain's entry into the Second World War on the grounds that she had no quarrel with Germany. After the outbreak of war he continued to call for a negotiated peace.
26 February 1954 - he died at Brightwell Manor.
