===Old Court=== [[File:20130808 Castle End from Kings Bridge.jpg|thumb|Old Court from [[King's College Bridge]]]] Clare's Old Court, a Grade I [[listed building]], was built between 1638 and 1715,<ref name=Rawle_p100 /> with a long interruption for the [[English Civil War]]. The period spans the arrival of [[classicism]] into the mainstream of British architecture, such that its progress can be traced in the marked differences between the oldest wing to the north, which still has vaulting and other features in the unbroken tradition of English [[Gothic architecture]], and the final southern block, which shows a fully articulated classic style.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}} The college's chapel was built in 1763 and designed by [[James Burrough (architect)|Sir James Burrough]], the Master of neighbouring [[Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge|Caius College]].<ref>{{cite DNB |wstitle= Burrough, James (1691-1764) |volume= 07 |last= Clark |first= John Willis |author-link= John Willis Clark |pages = 444-445 |short=1}}</ref> Its altarpiece is ''Annunciation'' by [[Giovanni Battista Cipriani|Cipriani]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Chapel and Choir - Clare College Cambridge|url=https://www.clare.cam.ac.uk/Chapel-and-Choir/|access-date=2021-10-09|website=www.clare.cam.ac.uk}}</ref> Old Court frames [[King's College Chapel, Cambridge|King's College Chapel]] in views from the Backs.
