Description

Clare College features gates and railings along Trinity Hall Lane, constructed in 1673 by Robert Grumbold. The entrance is marked by rusticated stone piers topped with vase finials. The wrought iron gates, complete with an overthrow, were added in 1714. The flanking railings front the street and establish the boundary with King's College.
