King Henry VIII founded Trinity College in 1546 by combining two earlier buildings dating from 1317 and 1324, although most of the college’s buildings date from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Trinity College is the largest of Cambridge University’s colleges and it is noted for its large courts and the library designed by Christopher Wren. Trinity has educated six British prime ministers and 31 Nobel Prize winners. Famous former students include Francis Bacon, Earl Grey, Sir Isaac Newton and Ernest Rutherford.
