Pembroke from Trumpington Street
by Ian Fraser

The Chapel and Hitcham Building
by Rob Howard
Pembroke College was  founded in 1347 by Marie de St Pol, the Countess of Pembroke. It is the third oldest of the Cambridge colleges and the first to have its own Chapel. None of the original college buildings survive but the main gate and the Old Library incorporate parts of the original court of the Foundress. The gatehouse is the oldest surviving college entrance in Cambridge. The original Chapel is now the Old Library and the new Chapel was the first completed work of Christopher Wren. The Chapel Gate sits between the Chapel and the 1870’s residential block, known as Red Buildings, designed by the architect Alfred Waterhouse
