Cambridge - Clare College

Clare College, next to Trinity Hall, was first founded in 1326 as University Hall. Bad management necessitated its refounding by Lady Elizabeth de Clare in 1338. In 1638, following a fire, work started on rebuilding the college in its present Renaissance style, seen at its loveliest in First Court. Distinguished past members include the reformer Hugh Latimer, who was burned at the stake at Oxford, and the Elizabethan dramatist Robert Greene.
