One of the finest college to visit in Cambridge. It is the third oldest college established in 1347. In its courtyard lies the first chapel built by Sir Christopher Wren in 1665. There is also a war memorial commemorating 450 deaths who were connected with Pembroke College during the 1st and 2nd World War. In its gardens, there is a statue of William Pitt the Younger who was the youngest PM of Great Britain in 1783 at the age of 24. It also serves a good, hearty brunch.

The third-oldest college of the university and has over seven hundred students and fellows. Physically, it is one of the university's larger colleges, with buildings from almost every century since its founding, as well as extensive gardens. Its members are termed "Valencians". Pembroke has a level of academic performance among the highest of all the Cambridge colleges

Pembroke is the earliest Cambridge College to survive today on its original site with an unbroken constitution from its first foundation On Christmas Eve 1347 Edward III granted Mary de St Pol, daughter of Guy de Chatillon and the widow of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, a licence for the foundation of the College. By the end of the fourteenth century the original First Court (now Old Court) was complete.

Did not enter the buildings, but the grounds and outside were simply stunning. It was a pleasure to walk through and enjoy. We were able to go into the chapel, which again was a beautiful space. We were very lucky that this college allows visitors on its grounds. Photos do not do it justice.

Popped in here as a visitor and while almost other colleges were close and or charged entry this one was free to look around. It does not have the grandeur of some of the other colleges but the Victorian architecture is impressive and the scale of the courtyards and wild garden are more appealing. Seems like it would be a lovely place to live and study. The chapel build by Wren is very impressive.
