The earliest recognisable depiction of the decoration of the sundial is shown in the view of the court engraved by Storerin 1829. This is an enlarged detail of the dial. For some period in the mid-19th century the sundial was useless, having no gnomon. This photo, highly enlarged from a view of the court taken around 1860–4, shows the dial in this ...
Apart from passing references in histories and guide-books, there seem to have been no early attempts to recount the history of the dial, or to explain how to read it. Carter’s History of 1753 mentions the dial as a Curiosity, but mis-attributes it to Newton, and provides no factual information. Searle’s History of 1867–71 was more concerned with o...

The clock and bell were transferred to a new tower on the roof of the Library: that tower can be seen in the print below. In 1805, a new building (which now contains the Old Library staircase and offices) was erected close to the site of the former bell-tower.
The clock tower of 1804 is shown - it lasted until 1848; A lamp-post has appeared in the middle of Old Court: town gas started in Cambridge in 1823, but the date Queens’ took it is not known; Embattled parapets have been erected all around Old Court.
