King's College
For subscription-paying members only. This visit is not suitable for those with restricted mobility.
Former CSAR President David Adamson has offered to lead a visit for us up onto the roof of King's College Chapel, to see from above the architecture of one of the world's great buildings, and to view the new solar panel installation. He will give us a short summary of why and how the chapel was built, then in turn take two small groups up to the roof.
The finishing time is a bit uncertain, but if convenient we can find somewhere for lunch together afterwards.
King's College Chapel is the chapel of King's College in the University of Cambridge. It is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture.

We had a marvellous visit, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Our thanks to David Adamson, for giving us this chance to visit behind the scenes at this marvel of medieval architecture and engineering.

A BIG thank you for organising today’s visit to King’s Chapel and climb to the ceiling cavity and roof – it was incredible!
To think that the engineers and architects achieved such a wonderful and astonishing building in the 1400s is amazing!
And a big thank you to our guide David Adamson.
I feel so privileged to have been able to go on such a tour – thank you!
Just WOW!
