This week, Clare alumnus and Honorary Fellow Sir David Attenborough (1945) visited Clare to see the progress of the Old Court project. Sir David helped launch the Campaign for Old Court in 2019, and his visit was an opportunity for the College to thank him for his support, now that the fundraising target has been achieved. 

He was given a tour of the North Range extension and the River Room Café, where he admired the scenic view across the river to the Fellows’ Garden, much to the delight of passing punters. Sir David then joined staff and Fellows for tea in the beautifully restored Hall.
