2 items, paper (2 copies)

Printed appeals brochure called: Magdalene College Cambridge formerly Monks' Hostel 1428-1542-1928 Appeal for Funds for the Erection of a New Court

On the 500th anniversary of the foundation of the Monks' Hostel an appeal was launched to raise £60,000 to build 12 staircases, each with its separate sets of rooms, in the new court which the College planned to create by removing the shops facing Magdalene Street (not enough money was raised from this appeal to allow for the design of the new court to be realised).

The brochure includes three colour drawings of the proposed new court as seen from Quay Side, the river and the air, and ground and first floor plans.
