Old Cavendish Laboratory
 The Old Cavendish Laboratory was founded in 1874 by the Chancellor of the time, William Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire. The first director of the laboratory was James Clerk Maxwell, widely regarded as the scientific link between Newton and Einstein, and a great scientist in his own right, contributing to such wide fields as electromagnetism and colour analysis. He was also a great Christian, who had his coat of arms carved in the main door of the laboratory, along with a section of Psalm 111 in Latin: 'Great are the works of the Lord, sought out by all those who take pleasure therein.'
