The College has been in the news recently following the discovery of a Victorian gyp - a small kitchen - during the
refurbishment of F staircase. It was uncovered by Selwyn’s Maintenance team; and the find included postcards, cigarette
cards and a photograph of Chapel from the early 20th century. A crew from ITV Anglia visited to film the gyp and to talk to
Doug Benzie from maintenance and History Fellow David Smith. You can watch the video report by clicking the ‘play’ button

The story was also covered in the Cambridge News:
The plan now is to cover the gyp with safety glass so that it will be preserved and visible for future generations.
