Bridge of sighs Cambridge. St John's College New Bridge, better known as the Bridge of Sighs, connects Third Court and New Court of the College. Best viewed from St John's Old Bridge, it is one of Cambridge's more popular tourist icons. Unlike its namesake in Venice, the barred Gothic windows are designed to prevent students entering at night, rather than to prevent escape. It was designed by Henry Hutchinson in 1827, and presumably built in 1831 along with New Court. Together with Rickman, Hutchinson was also repsonsible for the design of New Court. Cambridgeshire.
