Queens’ College

History of Queen's College Cambridge

Cloister Court, Queens’ College, 1887 by Henry Moule (MoC10/147/51)

General information on Queens’ College can be found on Wikipedia.

Designated Building of Local Interest: Erasmus Building

The sundial at the college is among the most remarkable in the world, not least because it was also used to operate as a moondial.

The college website has a detailed description of how to use it:
