Among the flower beds at the south-west end of the Newnham College gardens the questing visitor will find this small brass memorial dial. It was erected in memory of Alice Hopkins who, in August 1898 at the age of 23, died in the Alps with her father and brother. It was made by T. Bailey, with the gnomon being replaced by A Brookes on restoration in 1984.
Update Oct 2019 - the replacement gnomon has been stolen; a new one is to be made by the Department of Engineering.
