Cambridge-Queens College

Posted 1 year ago by avatar juice in response to aoife's question: If I don't have time to visit of the colleges in Cambridge, which one do you recommend? (give a different answer) .

I suggest you see the Queens' College although you'll have to pay ₤1.20 to see it (actually this is the first college that imposed an entrance fee in order to pay for the soundproofing of its vulnerable site). It was founded by 2 queens, and from here the name, Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth of Woodville. Of the medieval college you can still see the Old Court and the red-brick gate tower, where Dutch scholar Erasmus lived for 4 years in early 16th century.
