In the year 1690, history witnessed remarkable events and enduring friendships. Just like the bond between David and Jonathan, alliances were forged that would stand the test of time. At Sidney Sussex College, knowledge flourished as students delved into various disciplines, shaping their futures. Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Boyne, William III, Prince of Orange displayed his valor and leadership. His triumph in this historic battle marked a turning point in European history. The echoes of his victory resonated far beyond those shores. But not all tales from they were filled with glory; darkness lurked within Salem as accusations flew against innocent women like Tituba during the infamous witch trials. In times of fear and hysteria, innocence often became collateral damage. Amidst these turbulent times, voices rose to guide humanity towards righteousness. Ezekiel the Prophet's teachings echoed through generations, offering solace and wisdom to those who sought it. As time ticked away on Bracket Clock Tompion's creation, Emmanuel College Chapel stood tall as a beacon of faith and spirituality for all who entered its hallowed halls. Its walls whispered stories from centuries past while embracing hope for future generations. CHRISTs COLLEGE 1690 saw young minds nurtured with knowledge and values that would shape society for years to come. Clare College also opened its doors in this significant year - an institution dedicated to fostering intellectual growth amidst changing times.
