Summary

Description
English: Cambridge University Trinity College Choir Singing from the Towers of Great Court on 9 June 2013. Four-light window of the third storey of the Great Gate (inner/west side), Trinity College, Cambridge, surmounted and flanked by sculpted stone achievements, now badly decayed, of the Royal arms of James I (1603-1625) circumscribed by the Garter with lion and unicorn supporters, of his consort Queen Anne of Denmark to the left (north), with wild men supporters and Latin motto BEATI PACIFICI ("Blessed are the peacemakers") James I's personal motto, and of his son Charles, Prince of Wales (future King Charles I) (royal arms with a label of three points argent, with motto of Prince of Wales "Ich Dein") to the right (south), with the Royal supporters; all are crowned. The Royal arms extend up through the parapet-string and into the embattled ashlar parapet. The Royal arms on the West side of the Gate were sculpted by John Smythe. The accounts of 1614–15 include payments to William Cure, jun. for the Queen's and Prince's shields-of-arms, to John Smythe for going to London to help with carving the statue of James I, and for transport of all the statues and their shields-of-arms to Cambridge.
