Trinity College, which was founded in 1546, has a statue of Henry VIII on the Gatehouse. He is holding in one hand an orb and in the other a chair leg. The original sceptre was replaced a long time ago with a chair leg as a student prank. When the College gate house was cleaned some years ago Henry was given a brand new chair leg!
The pranks didn't stop with a poor chair leg: it is said that there once were a van on the roof of the Senate House and a car suspended beneath the Bridge of Sighs!
