Trinity College,DublinTrinity Digital ExhibitionIreland's oldest university, Trinity College in Dublin is one of the country'sancient treasures. Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, Trinity is a world within a world, once you enter the gates and cross the cobblestones it's as if the modern thriving city outside simply melts away. A stroll in and around the grounds is a journey through the ages and into the hushed world of scholarly pursuit. Many shop and office workers take their lunchtime sandwiches here during summer months simply to escape the hustle and bustle outside. The college is famed for its priceless treasures including the awe-inspiringBook of Kells(on permanent exhibition) and the mind-bogglingLong Room(the inspiration for the library in thefirst Harry Pottermovie).2 TheCliffs of Moher

TheCliffs of MoherSo many superlatives have been used to describe these magnificent cliffs it's hard to find the right words. Vertigo-inducing and awe-inspiring spring to mind and they areindeedboth of these things as well as being utterly wild and ruggedly beautiful. For those who've read up on the Emerald Isle prior to visiting, the cliffs will be familiar, starring as they do in countless postcards and guidebooks. Yet no image can ever do them justice. This is Ireland's most visited natural attraction and with good reason. About one and a half hours by car fromGalway, in neighbouringCounty Clare, the cliffs are visited by close to a million people from across the globe each year. They stretch for eight kilometers along the Atlantic and rise some 214 meters at their highest point. Take a walk along the trail to experience the rawpowerof nature at its most majestic.

3Glendalough, Co. WicklowGlendalough, Co. WicklowMagical and mysterious, Glendalough is home to one of the most important monastic sites in Ireland. The settlement was established by St. Kevin during the 6th century and eventually evolved into what's known as the Monastic City. Visitors have flocked to the valley of the two lakes for thousands of years to absorb its rich history, magnificent scenery, plentiful wildlife, and fascinating archaeological finds. The monastic site with its incredibly preserved round tower is a joy to explore, and the surrounding woodlands and lakes are perfect for rambling through at your leisure or stopping off for a picnic. There are marked nature trails to follow and a Visitor Centre for all the information you'll need for a day out like no other.Glendalough Map

4Grafton Street Area, DublinGrafton Street Area, DublinSo much more than a shopping street, Grafton Street is alive with buskers, flower-sellers, and performance artists. You will also find countless places to stop off and simplywatch the worldmeander by. Caf culture has taken off in the capital, and on a sunny day, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were inBarcelonaorLisbon. True, this is Dublin's shopping heartland, but there's no need to spend a fortune if visiting. You'll find friendly, chatty service no matter where you go and be entertained from the bottom of the street toSt. Stephen's Greenat the top. Grab a coffee or, in the mornings, a legendary Irish breakfast atBewley's Oriental Caf. Take time as well to duck down the numerous alleyways and streets to see what you can discover.

5Muckross House & Gardens, Killarney, Co. KerryMuckross House & Gardens, Killarney, Co. Kerrybea & txemaIf visiting the Kerry region, 19th-century Muckross House and Gardens, set in spectacularKillarney National Park, should be top of the must-see list. Standing close to the shores of Muckross Lake, one of Killarney's three lakes that are famed worldwide for their splendor and beauty, this former mansion oozes the grandeur and gentility of bygone days. When exploring, bear in mind that Queen Victoria once visited here. In those days, a royal visit was no small affair; extensive renovations and re-landscaping took place in preparation, and no detail was left to chance. The house and gardens are a real treat and there areJaunting Cars(Killarney's famous horse & traps) to take you around the grounds in style. The adjacentTraditional Farmsare also well worth taking in for a taste of how the ordinary folk once lived.

6Kilmainham Gaol, DublinKilmainham Gaol, DublinFeatured in many a rebel song and occupying a notoriously dark place in Irish history, Kilmainham Gaol should be high on the list for those with any interest in Ireland's troubled past. It was here that the leaders of the 1916 Uprising were brought and, after being convicted of High Treason, executed in the prison yard. The only one spared was future Irish President Eamon De Valera who, by virtue of hisAmerican citizenship, didn't suffer the same grisly fate.Datingfrom 1796, the prison was a dank vile institution that housed those guilty of such misdemeanours as being unable to pay their train fares and, during the famine, the destitute and hungry. In Irish eyes, Kilmainham became an irrevocable symbol of oppression and persecution. A visit here will open your eyes and senses and remain with you indelibly. The yard mentioned earlier is particularly spine chilling. In short, this is one of Ireland's absolute must-sees.

7Powerscourt House and Gardens, Co. WicklowPowerscourt House and Gardens, Co. WicklowSuperb views, serene lakeside walks, engaging history, and the stunning backdrop ofSugarloaf Mountainare just some of the treats in store when visiting this magnificent home, just 20 km fromDublin. Now owned by the Slazenger family, the house is set on 47 manicured acres. Take time to stroll through the Rose and Kitchen Gardens and explore the beautiful Italian Gardens. There are more than 200 varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers, and particularly moving is a section where much-loved family pets were buried complete with headstones and inscriptions. The gardens were laid out over a period of 150 years and were designed to create an estate that blends harmoniously with the surroundings. On site, in the former Palladian home, are craft and design shops and an excellent caf/restaurant. Truly one of the most majestic attractions in Ireland, a visit here shouldn't be missed.

8Dalkey and Killiney on Dublin's south coastDalkey and Killiney on Dublin's south coastEscape the city for a while, jump on a DART (Dublin's light rail system) and head for charming Dalkey/Killiney, a mere 25-minutes southbound from the city center. The picture-postcard village of Dalkey attracts visitors from around the world, perhaps something to do with the eclectic arty population, including such figures as Bono of U2, singer/songwriter Enya, filmmaker Neil Jordan, and a host of other artists and writers. Indeed, the village is so famous that Michelle Obama stopped off here during her 2013 visit with her daughters to have lunch at Finnegan's with the U2 singer and his family. There's a wonderfulHeritage Center,set in a castle, and spectacular walks along the coast and up onto adjacentKilliney Hill. A ferry service starting in summer 2014 will bring you across to beautifulDalkey Island, just a couple of minutes from Coliemore Harbour. In recent years, friendly and intimateDalkey Book Festivalhas attracted giants of the literary world each June.

9The Aran IslandsThe Aran IslandsOriginally brought to world attention in 1934 by the fictionalised documentary Man of Aran, these islands have been entrancing visitors ever since. This is a taste of Ireland as it once was. Gaelic is the first language, there are a mere 12,000 inhabitants, and once ashore, you'll feel as if you're in a time warp. There are three islands, the largest beingInishmore, thenInishmaan, and the smallest isInisheer. Wild, windswept, rugged, and utterly unique, the islands offer a visitor experience quite like no other. Once experienced, the great stone fort of Dun Aonghasa and the towering cliffs of Aran will never be forgotten. The local culture is quite different from that of the mainland, the archaeological heritage cannot be found elsewhere and the rich scenery is simply breathtaking.

10The Little Museum of DublinThe Little Museum of DublinWilliam MurphyA recent addition to the capital's museums, The Little Museum should be top on the list for anybody wishing to grasp Dublin's recent history. The museum grew organically from a 'meet and greet' service for visitors and quickly became what we see today. As well as informative, personally guided tours, new initiatives includeDublin by Land & SeaandThe Green Mile Walking Tour. On permanent exhibition are such items as the lectern used by John F. Kennedy during his 1963 visit to Ireland and a U2 exhibition with mementos donated by band members themselves. This is a joyful museum that celebrates Dublin with all its quirkiness and humor.

11The Ring of KerryThe Ring of KerryAlex RanaldiIf in Kerry, take the time to explore what is arguably Ireland's most scenic route, theRing of Kerry(Iveragh Peninsula). Of course you can start anywhere along the way, however most set out from eitherKenmareorKillarneyending, naturally enough, back in the same spot. The entire journey non-stop could take under three hours, but that's unlikely to happen. En-route there's a feast of jaw-dropping Atlantic Ocean views, stunning islands to visit, wild sweeping mountains, and many picturesque villages. This area of astounding natural beauty boasts a range of outdoor pursuits including golf, water sports on pristine beaches, cycling, walking, horse-riding, and terrific freshwater fishing and deep-sea angling. For history enthusiasts, there are Ogham Stones, Iron Age forts, and ancient monasteries, all set against a canvas of striking landscapes.

12St. Stephen's Green, DublinSt. Stephen's Green, DublinBeloved by Dubliners and with a colorful history, tranquil St. Stephen's Green is a great place to wind down, enjoy a picnic, or feed the ducks. Incidentally, during the 1916 Uprising, special dispensation was given on both sides to the park keepers. Hostilities ceased daily so that the ducks could be properly fed. It could only happen in Dublin. Nowadays 'The Green', as it's known locally, boasts beautifully maintained gardens, the ubiquitous Duck Pond, a picturesque bridge, recreation grounds, mature trees to rest beneath, and a playground. Around the perimeter are many of Dublin's premier Georgian buildings as well as the iconicShelbourne Hotel,founded in 1824, where afternoon tea in the Lord Mayor's Lounge is considered by many to be a real treat.

13Kinsale, Co. CorkKinsale, Co.CorkSoaked in history, and in a scenic coastal setting at the gateway to WestCork, Kinsale has been attracting large numbers of visitors for decades. The town has a decidedly Spanish feel, particularly in summer. This is hardly surprising bearing in mind that in 1601, three years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the Spanish sent a military force to Ireland, most of whom disembarked at Kinsale. This led to the English laying siege to the town and ultimately the defeat of Spanish and Irish forces by superior English military might. Kinsale is now a magnet for those who love sailing, fishing, walking, marvellous scenery, and great food. The town is packed with restaurants of all sorts and the seafood on offer is excellent. There's an annualGourmet Festivalamong others, and a visit to imposingCharles Fortshouldn't be missed.

14Bunratty Castle & Folk ParkBunratty Castle & Folk ParkA visit to the Shannon region wouldn't be complete without coming here. Dating from 1425, the castle is the best-preserved medieval fortress in Ireland and was lovingly restored in the 1950s. Containing a fine array of 15th- and 16th-century furnishings and tapestries, the castle will transport you back to ancient medieval times. The themed banquets in the evenings are great fun, although certain guests who misbehave run the risk of being sent to the dungeons below. The impressiveFolk Parkbrings the Ireland of a century ago vividly to life. Featuring more than 30 buildings in a village and rural setting, the folk park has village shops, farmhouses, and streets to explore. It's all great fun for families and kids.

15Shop Street, GalwayShop Street,GalwayMarcus MeissnerIf you're in Ireland's third largest city, Shop Street is a must. Crammed with all manner of retailers including booksellers, jewelers, boutiques, and cafs alongside street entertainers and buskers, this winding pedestrian thoroughfare captures all the charm of Galway within a few hundred yards. The street also boasts Ireland's best-preserved medieval townhouseLynch's Castle, although unfortunately, it now houses a branch of AIB Bank. The exterior, however, is worth stopping to admire. There's no shortage of gift shops too, many stocking the Claddagh rings Galway is famous for. By far the best thing about Shop Street, however, is the people and laid-back atmosphere. Galway has long been a destination for arty types and here you'll encounter all sorts of people generally having a good time no matter the weather.

16The English Market, CorkThe English Market, CorkFreckledPastNo visit to Cork would be complete without dropping by the English Market. Although it's a tad ironic that what is arguably Cork city's best attraction should contain the word 'English' as Cork folk usually see themselves as far more ideologically and culturally removed from neighbouring Britain than their Dublin counterparts. Having said that, they hold a special place in their hearts for this quirky covered market, which stocks the best of local produce, including the freshest seafood, artisan breads, and excellent cheeses. A market has existed on the site since the late 1700s, although the distinctive entrance on Princes Street dates from 1862. Recent worldwide fame came whenQueen ElizabethII dropped by on her first ever state visit to the Republic of Ireland in 2011. Iconic images of her sharing a joke with Fishmonger Pat O'Connell were beamed across the globe. For those who wish to linger a while, there's coffee to go and cozyFarmgate Restaurantupstairs.

17The Rock of CashelThe Rock of CashelIreland's most visited heritage site, the Rock of Cashel, stars in countless images of the Emerald Isle. Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain even visited by helicopter during her 2011 official tour of the country. Perched upon a limestone rock formation in the Golden Vale, this magnificent group of Medieval buildings includes the High Cross and Romanesque Chapel, the 12th-century round tower, a 15th-century castle, and a 13th-century Gothic cathedral. The restored Hall of the Vicars Choral is also among the structures.Tourist attractionsinclude an audio-visual show and exhibitions. It's also said that this was once the seat of the High Kings of Munster prior to the Norman invasions.

The Spire of Dublin, a 398 ft needle-like monument that replaced Nelsons Pillar, was dubbed Spike in the Dyke, Stiletto in the Ghetto, The Binge Syringe and other unceremonious tags alluding to its shiny stainless steel form. Legendary fishmonger Molly Malones statue is dubbed Tart with the Cart or Flirt in the Skirt. The statue of two women on a park bench with shopping bags near HaPenny Bridge is disparagingly called Hags with Bags. The statue of the river Liffey personified as Anna Livia, is the Floozy in the Jacuzzi or Bitch in the Ditch. Even famous Irish authors are not spared. Oscar Wildes statue is called The Queer with the Leer and The Fag on the Crag while James Joyce is The Prick with the Stick! In Belfast, when the Albert Clock Tower inclined due to a sinking base, locals deemed it better than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, because not only do we have the inclination, we also have the time!

1592 Trinity College, Dublin)Irelands contribution to the English language is pretty varied. A Dublin pub owner allegedly invented the wordQuizas a challenge to introduce a new term overnight. During the Irish Land War Captain Charles Boycott, a land agent wanted to evict tenants and was met with organized isolation by workers, hence the wordboycott. The termgoing beyond the paledates back to 14th century when parts of Ireland that were under English rule were marked by a pale (fence). To venture outside this boundary meant leaving behind all the rules of English society. Birthday bumpstoo originated in Ireland from an old practice of giving knocks on the head for luck. Belfasts spinning industry gave rise to several terms likeflaxen-haired, toe ragandspinster. Women often sat outdoors and had to keep the flax damp with their mouth, so were weather-beaten and had sores on their mouth. Many were left unmarried and continued spinning, from where the term spinster is derived. In the old days, as per Irish taxation laws people paid more for having large windows, as having more light was seen as a luxury. So houses had unusually small windows and half doors, as light was allowed from the top half of the door when needed, which wasnt taxable. It was this intriguing practice that gave rise to the phrasedaylight robbery.

The Butlers sought refuge in the Chapter House of Saint Patricks Cathedral in Dublin but the FitzGeralds followed them and asked them to come out and make peace. Fearing for their safety, the Butlers refused. As a token of good faith Gerald FitzGerald cut a hole in the door and offered his hand in peace to those on the other side. The Butlers honoured his noble intention, shook hands through the door and the two families were reconciled. FitzGerald had nothing to lose except his hand, which gave rise to the phrase to chance your arm. The famous Door of Reconciliation is still on display in the Cathedrals north wing.

1662Phoenix Park 80818305018Bite me! The Dracula was Irish? Dublin-born Irish writer Bram Stoker found inspiration for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula from several sources. Hungarian writer and traveler rmin Vmbry acted as Stokers consultant on Transylvania with dark stories from the Carpathian mountains. Though the Romanian prince Vlad Tepes, the Impaler may be an influence, there is an Ireland connection, too. Old legends talk of Abhartach, an Irish vampire king in 5th-6thcentury who rose from his grave to drink the blood of his subjects. In the late 1800s Bram Stoker visited Killarney in the Ring of Kerry. Its believed the vampire chronicles of Dracula were further shaped by his late night wanderings around Ross Castle and stories of hermit John Drake who slept in a coffin in Muckross Abbey. Stoker also visited the crypts of St Michans church in Dublin. Interestingly, Gaelic for bad blood is droch fola.While in Killarney, dont miss the theatrical Original Ghost Tour of Killarney a trip to die for!X Irish CoffeeFudgeCrowne Plaza Dublin Blanchardstown

How a blending blunder created the worlds most popular drink : Guinness folklore contends that Arthur Guinness did not invent stout; he merely perfected it. Though all stouts are made from barley, hops, yeast and water, what distinguishes Guinness from other beers in the secret 5thingredient the brewing technique. However the actual reason behind Guinnesss success was not a master blender, but a blunder! The key ingredient Irish ground barley, used in the ratio of 80% unmalted, 10% malted and 10% roasted, was heated too much, resulting in a dark ruby red brew. The rest, as they say, is distillery. Spring water from the Wicklow Mountains, low in minerals like magnesium and calcium, is used so Guinness in Dublin is likely to taste better than anywhere else. The nitrogen head on top of the pint acts as a barrier, sealing the beers taste and temperature. Learn to pour the perfect pint and drink using the five senses at the Guinness storehouse and also check out Arthur Guinesss 9000-year-old lease for the brewery site at St James Gate and the Directors Safe with a sample of the original starter yeast!

Kevin) 6(Saint Kevins Church) ()As per legend Irelands patron saint St Patrick was on a 40-day fast atop a hill when he was attacked by snakes, so he chased them into the sea. However its more a metaphor for him driving out pagan religions and the introduction of Christianity in 4thcentury. He used the shamrock or three-leaf clover to explain the Divine Trinity of The God, The Father and The Holy Spirit. Despite the myth, there have been no snakes in Ireland from the post-glacial period! Rathlin Island, the northernmost and only inhabited island in Northern Ireland was at the centre of a land dispute with Scotland. After all, it was here in a cave that Robert the Bruce hid after his defeat by the English in 1306 and was inspired by the persistent spider that scaled the roof after several unsuccessful attempts. In a 1617 lawsusit in the Court of King James I, it was claimed that since there were no snakes on Rathlin, it had to be Irish. As the story goes, a snake was released onto the island but did not survive in the marshy wilds and Rathlin remained Irish. Incidentally, this is where Marconi made his first radio broadcast.

Though Harland & Wolff was famous as a shipping company, it made almost anything including walkways for Heathrow Airport and the Churchill Tank.

The submarine, ejector seat, pneumatic pump and wind turbine were all Irish inventions as Ireland soon became the largest manufacturer of ropes, lemonade shakers, lawn mowers, flax machinery and shirts. The Back to the Future DeLorean DMC-12 cars were also made in the Belfast suburb of Dunmurry.Snug in a Snug : From Irelands highest pub Ponderosa overlooking the Mourne mountains to Crowns Bar in Belfast, described as the most beautiful bar in the world, Ireland has several unique and historic pubs. Grouchos in County Armagh has a well inside the pub and a tunnel that leads to Richhill Castle, the most haunted house in Ulster. Dublin alone has over 800 pubs including one of Irelands oldest The Brazen Head (1198). Some pubs have a snug, a cosy nook next to the bar or entrance, where women could have a pint in relative peace and isolation. Pubs were largely mens only turf with loud, aggressive and boisterous patrons. People raised a hue and cry about womens safety, but such apprehensions were unfounded. As the saying goes An Irishman can crawl over eight naked ladies to get to a pint.

Limerick City was established by the Vikings as a walled city on King's Island in 812. A great castle was built on the orders of King John in 1200 and that Castle sits on the banks of the River Shannon that dissects the City.It was besieged three times in the 17th century, resulting in the famous Treaty of Limerick and the flight of Earls when the vanquished Irish fled to Continental Europe. Much of the city was built during the following Georgian period, which ended abruptly with the Act of Union in 1800. Limerick is well known and famed for its bacon production, "everything but the squeak was used". It is known that Queen Victoria's Christmas dinner was not complete without a Limerick Ham on the table.Many of the households in areas such as the Abbey kept pigs along with the more traditional chickens although the vast majority of the pigs were imported from the local environs.The four great bacon factories in Limerick were Matterson's, Shaw's, O'Mara's and Denny's each competing for local, national and international trade out of Limerick city during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.It is said that Limerick fed the British Army during the Boer War. It is The Sporting Capital of Europe with it's population vigorously supporting GaelicGames , Soccer and especially Munster Rugby whose Stadium Thomond Park dominates the skyline.It was home to Frank McCourt the author of "Angela's Ashes" telling the story of his upbringing in the City in the 30s and 40s. Today the city has a growing multicultural population.

Rosslyn Chapel, 15William St. Claair

Frances Mary of Guise liked a good joke. When Englands KingHenry VIIIproposed marriage, Mary quipped that her neck was too slendera cutting reference to the beheading of Henrys second wife, Anne Boleyn. Mary married Scotlands James V, instead, and in 1542 gave birth to that nations best-known monarch, Mary Queen of Scots, just a week before James died. And in 1546, during her daughters minority reign, Mary made a curious bond with Sir William St. Clair of Rosslyn. Among the many speculations are the Cup of the Last Supper, the mummified head of Christ, the Stone of Destiny, a piece of the True Cross, the Ark of the Covenant, and the genealogical records of a holy bloodline established by a marriage between Mary Magdalene and Jesus. And in a recent issue ofTemplar Historymagazine the Grand Herald of the ScottishKnights Templarclaims he once met a chap who was convinced the chapel had been built over an ET-type spacecraft, and presented an excellent case The mind boggles.

Admitted to Trinity at just thirteen years old, while an undergraduate he first metQueen Elizabeth, who was impressed by his precocious intellect, and was accustomed to calling him the young Lord Keeper. Thomas Jefferson wrote: Bacon, Locke and Newton; I consider them as the three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception, and as having laid the foundation of those superstructures which have been raised in the Physical and Moral sciences. (John Locke studied at Trinitys sister college, Christ Church, Oxford.) Bacon was Lord Chancellor 1618-21. Bacon's death from pneumonia was described in John Aubrey's "Brief Lives" as the result of his idea of using snow to preserve meat. This statue, a copy of one at Gorhambury in Hertfordshire, claims to depict the way Bacon sat. The sculpture is very fine, realistically depicting the fur and lace of his clothes; in places the marble is thin enough to be translucent. Sculptor: Henry Weekes, 1845 : IsaacBarrow(1630-77) distinguished himself in Classics, Mathematics and Divinity. He was appointed Regius Professor of Greek three years before becoming the first Lucasian professor of Mathematics an illustration of the way the elements of the quadrivium were closely connected in the seventeenth century. Best known for his discovery of the fundamental theorem of calculus, Barrow resigned the Lucasian chair in favour of his pupilIsaac Newton, and devoted the rest of his life to theology writing and preaching and to being the Master of Trinity (1672-77) who commissioned the Wren Library.The statue of Barrow was commissioned in preference to one of RichardBentley, who was amoreinfluential but also highly controversial Master. The foremost scholar and textual critic of his day, Bentley was regarded, together with Newton, as one of the intellectual founders of Trinity, but as Master he ruled like an irresponsible despot. The statues of Bacon and Barrow were given by William Whewell.

The inscription under LordMacaulays statue, by Thomas Woolner (1868), one of the best of the many specimens of elegant Latinity on the memorials, contains the appropriate words Qui primus annales ita scripsit ut vera fictis libentius legerentur (He was the first to write history in such a way that the true facts might be read with more pleasure than fiction). He was the author of theLays ofAncient Rome, which contains the lines, memorised by many schoolchildren:Then out spake brave Horatius, / The Captain of the Gate: / 'To every man upon this earth / Death cometh soon or late. / And how can man die better / Than facing fearful odds, / For the ashes of his fathers, / And the temples of his Gods'.NIsaac Newton(Statue)Tressilian Charles Nicholas(Brass)Reynold Alleyne Nicholson(Brass)John North(Interment)

Louis-Franois Roubiliacs 1755 statue ofIsaacNewton, presented to the Ante-Chapelby the MasterRobert Smith, is the finest work ofartin the College, as well as the most moving and significant. The lips parted and the eyes turned up in thought give life to marble. The inscription,Qui genus humanum ingenio superavit, is a pun ennobled by its truth. This inscription is aquotationfrom thethird bookof LucretiussDe rerum natura, meaning in intellect he surpassed / survived the humanrace.Newton (1642-1727) was the greatest English mathematician of his generation. Developing his teacher Isaac Barrows work he laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known. His 1687 bookPhilosophi Naturalis Principia Mathematicalays the foundations for most ofclassical mechanics. He also excelled in the realms of astronomy, natural philosophy, alchemy, and somewhat unorthodox theology. Newton is buried inWestminster Abbey.OCharles William Oatley(Brass)PCarl Frederick Abel Pantin(Brass)Reginald St John Parry(Brass)Alfred Chilton Pearson(Brass)Richard Porson(Sculpture / Interment)John Percival Postgate(Brass)Joseph Prior(Brass)Mark Gillachrist Marlborough Pryor(Brass)RSrinavasa Ramanujan(Brass)Robert Mantle Rattenbury(Brass)Dennis Holme Robertson(Brass)Donald Struan Robertson(Brass)John Arthur Thomas Robinson(Brass)Robert Robson(Brass)Thomas Rotherham(Interment)Francis John Worsley Roughton(Brass)Walter William Rouse Ball(Brass)William Albert Hugh Rushton(Brass)Bertrand Russell(Brass)Ernest Rutherford(Brass)Martin Ryle(Brass)SThomas Slater (Interment)Francis Henry Sandbach(Brass)Thomas Secford(Interment)Adam Sedgwick(Brass / Interment)Thomas Kynaston Selwyn(Sculpture)Richard Sheepshanks(Sculpture)Henry Sidgwick(Brass)Frederick Arthur Simpson(Brass)Elizmar Smith(Brass)Robert Smith(Interment)Thomas Smith(Interment)James Spedding(Sculpture)Piero Sraffa(Brass)Charles Villiers Stanford(Brass)Vincent Henry Stanton(Brass)Richard Stevenson(Sculpture)Hugo Fraser Stewart(Brass)James Stuart(Brass)THenry Martyn Taylor(Brass)Sedley Taylor(Brass)Frederick Robert Tennant(Brass)Alfred, Lord Tennyson(Statue)Arthur Thacker(Interment)William Hepworth Thompson(Brass / Interment)Joseph John Thomson(Brass)Thomas Thorp(Brass)George Macaulay Trevelyan(Brass)Coutts Trotter(Brass)

In the bas-relief of the statue of the poet Alfred, LordTennyson(1809-92) a pipe bowl lieshalf-hidden among thelaurel wreaths; children always delight in its discovery. It was put there by a secret conspiracy between the sculptor Thornycroft and the donor Harry Yates Thompson, a life-long friend of the then Master Montagu Butler, who was well aware of the Masters dislike of the nasty habit of smoking. Tennyson won the Chancellor's Medal for poetry, but left Trinity without a degree, owing to his father's illness.The much-quoted Tennyson was the author ofThe Charge of theLight Brigade,Crossing the Bar, andIn Memoriam, which he wrote to commemorate his friend Arthur Hallam, another Trinity poet, and which contains the immortal linesTis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all. Verse 87 is a nostalgic sketch of life at Trinity.

WilliamWhewell(1794-1866) spent his whole adult life atTrinity,coming up as an Exhibitioner in 1812, and dying as Master in 1866, after falling from ahorse. He was Professor of Mineralogy, and subsequently of Philosophy (then called moral theology and casuistical divinity), and endowed a chair of international law; he was also interested in architecture and, having presciently bought the land, he signed the contract for, and contributed financially to, the Gothic courts east of Trinity Street named in his honour but built in the worst period of Victorian architecture.He is chiefly remembered for his encouragement of the study of the moral andnatural sciences; he also coined many scientific terms, including the wordscientist. As well as being a polymath with a prodigious memory, Whewell was as powerful physically as his statue suggests. It is a well-authenticated Trinity tradition that Whewell, when Master, jumped up the Hall steps at one leap, a feat that is very seldom accomplished even byyouthfulathletes.
