A yale is a mythical creature, similar to a goat or antelope, but with swivelling horns. It is one of the symbols adopted by our foundress, Lady Margaret Beaufort.

God’s House, established in 1438, was re-founded as Christ's College by Lady Margaret (mother of Henry VII and grandmother of Henry VIII) in 1505.

Visit the College and you will see many royal symbols on the older buildings. These include the Yale as well as the red Lancastrian rose and the Tudor portcullis.

Teacher Maddie James, a former student at Christ's, writes the latest 'Miltonic Mill' blog on 'Playing with Paradise Lost in the Classroom'.

She said:

"Having fun with Milton should not be anathema: it can remind us that reading literature is a creative act as each makes her/his/their own meaning from the text; it encourages individuality, independence, initiative and probably quite a few other things beginning with ‘I’."

Cambridge is well-known for so-called ‘wisteria hysteria’ when everyone photographs the magnificent purple blooms that flower in the spring and summer.

The Master’s Lodge at Christ’s is covered with a fine, old plant which is carefully maintained by our College gardeners.

Dr Fran Eastwood, supervisor in English, is organising a one-day conference on 17th-century masques. She said:

"Masques combined flamboyant costume and jewellery with novel design and moving mechanical sets provoking wonder among the spectators. Think Olympic opening ceremony as a rough modern-day analogy!"

'The Disruptive Stage: Stuart Masques and Court Entertainment’ takes place on 22 April 2027 and includes an early evening performance by a trio from Dowland's Foundry.

Speakers include:

Anne Daye, The Historical Dance Society
Alison Findlay, Lancaster University
Tamsin Lewis, The Courtauld
Harry McCarthy, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
Susan North, Curator of Fashion before 1800, Victoria and Albert Museum
