Pembroke College, Medieval college in Cambridge, England
Pembroke College stands within Cambridge University with its old gatehouse, chapel, formal hall, gardens, and residential buildings spread across multiple courtyards and grounds.
Marie de St Pol established Pembroke College in 1347 after receiving a license from King Edward III to create an educational institution for students from France and England.
The college maintains formal dining traditions four evenings each week, where students gather in the hall and observe the custom of reciting Latin grace before meals.
Students benefit from modern facilities including a library, computer center, gymnasium, music practice rooms, sports fields, prayer spaces, and a professional climbing wall.
The gatehouse of Pembroke College remains the oldest surviving college entrance structure in Cambridge, dating from the original 14th-century construction period.
