Kings College, Cambridge.

Kings College is in Kings Parade, Cambridge. It's a part of the University of Cambridge.

Here is a photo of some of the beautiful stone work that is characteristic if King's and other Cambridge University colleges.

The college was founded by Henry the Sixth who died before it was built. The greater part of the college was completed in 1515 under Henry the Seventh. However, the outstanding gateway of twelve pinnacles and cupola set in the screen wall with window tracery is relatively new. It was designed by William Wilkins last century.
