Nevile's Court, Trinity College, Cambridge, Academic courtyard at Trinity College, Cambridge, England
The courtyard exhibits classical architecture with covered cloisters on the north and south sides, connecting the college Hall to the Wren Library.
Thomas Nevile, Master of Trinity College, financed the construction of the original court in 1612, which reached only sixty percent of its current size.
The north and south sides of the court contain rooms for fellows and students, making residence in this location a mark of academic distinction.
