History of Sidney Sussex

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 five Nobel Prize winners: C.T.R. Wilson (Physics 1927), C.F. Powell (Physics 1950), Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (Physics 1991), Sir John Walker (Chemistry 1997) and Alan McDiarmid (Chemistry 2000). Sidney is also reputed to have been the College of Sherlock Holmes.
