Jesus College was founded in 1496, it’s chapel being the oldest building in use by the University. It is known for its beautiful and spacious grounds. With the exception of only a few, it also allows anyone to walk on its lawns – a rarity in Cambridge University grounds! |

The college is a little out of the town centre, but well worth a visit for its tranquility and beauty during the summer. Some famous alumni include Thomas Cranmer, once the archbishop of Canterbury, and Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex. |
