Digging up the College lawn

I'm amused to note that when artist Quentin Blake celebrates 800 years of Cambridge in a mural at Addenbrookes, one of the events he decides to picture is Dorothy Garrod digging up Newnham College lawn, as celebrated by uitlander.

Thank you for the heads up. The DofS is pretty pleased as well, although she's also complaining that he says he doesn't know whether she actually did excavate in the gardens (we all know she did). I've asked the 800 campaign if we can have some copies of the panel.

Happy to note it, though I expect you'd have heard sooner rather than later.
