Trinity College Cambridge, founded 1546

“The King’s Hall” was founded as a society of King’s Scholars on 7 July 1317 by King Edward the Second with a writ to the Sheriff of Cambridgeshire.

Trinity College, Cambridge, was founded by King Henry VIII in 1546 by combining the two older colleges King’s Hall and Michael House and seven Hostels (Catherine’s, Garratt, Gregory’s, Ovyng’s, Physwick, St Margaret’s, and Tyler’s).

Sir Isaac Newton worked at Trinity College and about 34 Nobel Prize winners are or were members of Trinity College, and many others who create huge impact to change our world for the better.

Four Fields Medal winners are associated with Trinity College: Michael Atiyah, Alan Baker, Richard Borcherds and Timothy Gowers (The Fields Medal is commonly regarded as the highest academic prize in mathematics).

King Charles III is alumnus of Trinity College.

Six British Prime Ministers are alumni of Trinity College.

Trinity College includes about 180 Fellows, 600 undergraduate and 300 graduate students.

Trinity College is part of the University of Cambridge
