Archive Image of the Month – March 2020
Choir tour to Yorkshire, 1971
Our archive image this month shows a group from the Selwyn College Choir on a visit to Fountains Abbey during their tour to Yorkshire in 1971. The photo was kindly donated in 2014 by Dr Tony Reed (third from the right) who sang counter-tenor in the choir from 1968-71. Tony’s memories of the tour were confirmed by the report in the Calendar, with the accommodation for the tour being arranged in Ripon by the then senior organ scholar, Andrew Newberry. The choir sang Evensong at Ripon Cathedral, York Minster, Howden Minster and also performed concerts at Winksley and most memorably at Richmond parish church.
As always, any questions about the college archives can be directed to the archivist on archives@sel.cam.ac.uk. We are always grateful to hear from members of college about any photographs and memories you may have of your time at Selwyn and they can also be uploaded directly here.
