Légende
Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, 1845. College in Gloucestershire designed by Dakes and Hamilton: 'The design is in the Tudor style, of three stories high; the upper story being lit by picturesque, old-fashioned dormer windows...The centre is occupied by a bold tower, 80 feet high; with a turreted newel of 100 feet, intended as an observatory, for meteorological and other scientific purposes. The materials are limestone from the quarries adjacent; the quoins, window-dressings, &c., being of freestone; and half the elevation is already completed...pupils and out-students will be received and educated; their time being divided between in-door instruction and out-door occupation...The structure and treatment of the Diseases of Cattle will be taught, and a simple but accurate system of Farm Accounts will form part of the instruction'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
