Overview

Third oldest of the Cambridge colleges, Pembroke was founded in 1347 by Marie de Valence, widow of the Earl of Pembroke. The most notable building in Pembroke is the chapel, completed in 1665. It was the debut commission of architect Christopher Wren, who went on to design St Paul's Cathedral in London. From the chapel, one can also head for the clock tower of the library with its glittering clock.
