Not many people would instantly recognise this view of Clare because King's College Chapel, is just to the right and dominates the scene. However the Clare buildings are impressive, with the stone particularly resplendent in the winter sun.

The south range (the right side in the photo) was built in 1640-1642. The southern half of the west range had its foundations laid in 1640 but work was interrupted by the English Civil War and work was not really started until 1669. The northern half of the west range was built from 1705 to 1715.
