The New Chapel
The New Chapel at Queens' College in Cambridge (yes, it's queens in plural - the college's name is the result of the patronage of two English queens: Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Woodville. It was actually also under the patronage of Ann Neville, but by then the college already had its name established). As can be assumed this makes the college a 15th century creation. And that explains why this is a new chapel, it is "only" from 1890s - consecrated in 1891. It was designed by George F. Bodley. But the altarpiece is from the 15th century, made by a Flemish artist not known by name but called "Master of the view of St Gudute" (Meester van het Gezicht op Sint-Goedele in Dutch).
