Sidney Sussex College

Sidney Sussex College was founded in 1596 under the will of Lady Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex and aunt of the poet, Sir Philip Sidney, on the site of a dissolved Franciscan friary.

Its distinguished alumni include Oliver Cromwell and six Nobel Prize winners: CF Powell, CTR Wilson, Rudolph Marcus, John Pople, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes and Sir John Walker. Sidney is also reputed to have been the College of Sherlock Holmes.

The College is centrally located in Cambridge with large attractive gardens, which are regularly used for functions in the summer.
