Trinity College, Cambridge
28 July 1952.
With the Senior Bursar’s compliments and thanks
Guns—formerly at Chilton Lodge, Wiltshire.
Sir William Pearce died in 1907. His only connection with Trinity was that he rowed in the College boat. {1} He left, subject to his wife’s life interest, his residential estate, Chilton Lodge, Wiltshire, to Trinity College. His wife, a much younger person, died within a year, childless. The College decided to sell the estate which was valued at £80,000 approximately.
The guns stood on the lawn in front of Chilton Lodge. They were brought to Cambridge, put out of action, and placed in the Fellows Garden. In November, 1909 it was decided to remove them to the Bowling Green.

{1} This is curiously dismissive. Pearce spent a full three years at the College, graduating BA and LLB.
