The Memorial Service was held on Saturday January 30th for Professor Owen Chadwick, the much-loved former Master of Selwyn who died last summer at the age of 99. There was a large turnout at Great St Mary’s Church in the centre of Cambridge, with the Chadwick family and College Fellows being joined by alumni and friends. The Queen was represented by Lord Fellowes.
