👑 A royal gift to Queen’s, but there’s rather more to the story than that…
400 years ago, Queen’s successfully petitioned Charles I and Henrietta Maria for the right to appoint clergy to six churches in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
The story behind that gift takes us into the world of 17th-century Queen’s, from royal patronage and ambitious Provosts to reluctant Fellows, accusations of bribery, and some seriously impressive archival documents.
We're excited to share, for the first time, one of the pop-up Archive exhibitions as an online exhibition by Archivist Dr Amy Ebrey.

🎉 Congratulations to Jem Perry (PPE, 2023), who has been awarded a Kennedy Scholarship to Harvard University.
As Jem leaves Oxford, we asked what things he’ll miss most about Queen’s. His answer: the close-knit community and eating together in Hall.
🍽️ At Queen’s, eating together is about more than sharing a meal– it’s a chance to bring together students from different subjects and year groups and creates space for conversations and friendships you might not otherwise have found.

🌒 As people look skywards for today’s solar eclipse, we’re looking back to another eclipse and to a former Queen’s student who wanted to make sure no one panicked when the sky went dark.
Astronomer Edmond Halley predicted with extraordinary accuracy the path of a total solar eclipse across southern England in 1715. At a time when eclipses could still be regarded as ominous portents, Halley published a chart explaining exactly what would happen, hoping that science would prevent “surprise to the People”.
Halley studied at Queen’s for two years from 1673, and his rare 'A Description of the Passage of the Shadow of the Moon' (1715) has recently joined the College Library’s collections thanks to the generosity of an Old Member.
