| On certain nights of the full moon, usually at midnight, the ghost of one of the Fellows of the College, Christopher Round, is said to walk around a mulberry bush, which was planted by Milton in the Fellows' Garden. He is said to be a tall figure, dressed in black, who always walks with his hands behind his back and with a deliberate pace Doctor Round is said to have drowned another Fellow of the College, who was a serious rival to his love affair. At the time it was thought that the drowning was accidental and Doctor Round was never brought to trial His ghost, mostly seen at Easter-time, has also been seen gliding down a narrow lane leading from Parker Street to St. Andrews Street, and in the area around Jesus Lane. |
