    Court to decide fate of Jesus College memorial to Tobias Rustat, slave-trade investor


    Jan 25, 2022

    THE removal of memorials to beneficiaries of the slave trade will be a question for the Consistory Court of the diocese of Ely to decide when it hears a petition from Jesus College, Cambridge, at the start of next month.

    In May 2021, the College Bursar applied on behalf of the college for a faculty authorising the removal from the west wall of the college chapel a memorial dedicated to Tobias Rustat (died 1694), a benefactor of the college who is said to have invested in the slave trade.

    The memorial contains the portrait of Rustat in an oval medallion with two asymmetrically posed cherubs holding up draperies and garlands. The faculty application provoked objections, and many of the objectors became formal parties opponent to the petition.

    Tobias Rustat memorial will not be removed from Cambridge college chapel

    23 march 2022

    A memorial plaque to a man who funded the slave trade in the chapel of a Cambridge college will not be removed as the campaign to take it down was based on a “false narrative”, it has been announced.

    The plaque to Tobias Rustat, who invested in the Royal African Company, is located inside the Chapel of Jesus College, Cambridge.

    The college last year submitted an application to the Diocese of Ely to relocate a memorial to Mr Rustat from its chapel to a permanent exhibition space in the college, with a consistory court case held in February on the issue.

    Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said he supports the removal, asking: “Why is it so much agony to remove a memorial to slavery?”

    Deputy Chancellor David Hodge QC of the Diocese of Ely, who decided the case, said in a statement on Wednesday: “No-one disputes that slavery and the slave trade are now universally recognised to be evil, utterly abhorrent and repugnant to all right-thinking people, wherever they live and whatever their ethnic origin and ancestry.

    “They are entirely contrary to the doctrines, teaching and practices of the modern church.”
