Pam Beck and a group of six ladies who entered St. John’s College as Year 1 students in September 1966 returned to the campus just as this year’s freshers are learning the ropes! They enjoyed some time in the Heritage Room before venturing forth for a campus tour to see what has changed and what is essentially the same.
We were fortunate to run into Annie Rowley, college chaplain who generously gave a tour of the chapel and a very full update on the role of the chapel today as a multi-faith centre of worship. The New Chapel was brand new in 1966 when Pam and her friends came to St. John’s.

Two of the group find themselves in a photo in the 1968 White Rose. They were part of a student group campaigning to save the Minster.
