Cambridge (England) -- Pictorial works; University of Cambridge -- Pictorial works
[187] Eton is the only public school joined from its foundation with
a Cambridge college. Merchant Taylors’ used however to be related to
Pembroke (which owes Spenser’s presence there to this circumstance)
and the ancient school of Bury used, it is said, to send its _alumni_
to Gonville. S. Paul’s school has tied scholarships and exhibitions at
Corpus Christi and Trinity: Corpus was connected with Norwich school
and Norfolk by Bacon, Parker, and other Norfolk benefactors, and has
tied scholarships with King’s School, Canterbury, and Westminster;
the last being also closely connected with Trinity College. Harrow
has two tied scholarships at Caius; Magdalene holds the Latimer
Neville scholarships for Shrewsbury, Marlborough, Uppingham, and
Fettes schools, and tied exhibitions from Wisbech school. Uppingham
is similarly connected with Emmanuel; Peterhouse with Huntingdon Free
Grammar School, and S. John’s with 18 schools all over England and
with several towns as well.
[188] A chapel of S. Lucy (erected 1245) came into the possession of
Peterhouse with the property of the friars of the Sack (1309) and was
used by the fellows towards the end of that century. The licences
obtained by Bateman (1352 and 1353) for chapels in Trinity Hall and
Gonville were never acted upon. Gonville however had a house chapel
in 1393. At this date Clare also had a chapel, which was used at the
primate’s visitation in 1401. The Clare Statutes (1359) direct that S.
John Baptist’s church be used. For ritual in the college chapels, see
pp. 59, 145. Organs were placed in most of the chapels in the reign of
Charles I., at a time when the courts, gates, and frontage of colleges
underwent repair and decoration.
[189] Cf. with the dimensions of Corpus old court which was
considerably larger (220 by 140), of the proposed quadrangle at King’s
p. 102 _n._, and with the frontage of some of the hostels p. 50.
[190] Haddon Hall in Derbyshire; the first owners of which were those
Peverels (”of the Peak”) who figure in Cambridge history at the time
of the Conquest (i. p. 17). The house passed to the Bassetts, a name
which was also well known in the university; and from there--so the
old story runs--Dorothy Vernon, a daughter of the last owners of the
manor, ran away with Sir John the first Lord Manners.

209, 212.
[192] Pearson was educated here, then at King’s of which he became
fellow, and was Master of Jesus and, in 1662, of Trinity.
[193] See Bernard’s hostel p. 109.
[194] Margaret had however called it “the quenes collage of sainte
Margarete and S. Bernard.” In her petition for a charter she tells the
king: “in the whiche vniuersitie is no college founded by eny quene of
Englond hidertoward.” The statutes were drawn up by Millington first
Provost of King’s, and others.
