Churchill College
Sir Winston Churchill retired as Prime Minister in 1955, and during a visit to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, spoke of the need for a similar institution in Great Britain, to train
scientists and engineers for research and development and to forge links with industry and corporate business.
After deliberations with governments, academics and American foundations it was decided to found
a new college at Cambridge, which would become the National and Commonwealth memorial to Churchill
and would bear his name.Churchill College was founded in 1960 and was among the first major works
of modern collegiate architecture in the city, but still retains the traditional concept of interlinked
courts and stairways. The College is located in the north west corner of the city, just 15 minutes walk
from the city centre and is set in 42 acres of rising open parkland that offers excellent views of Cambridge
and the surrounding countryside.Parking is available at Churchill College.

Buckingham House - New Hall College
New Hall was founded in 1954 as the "third foundation" for women students at Cambridge University at a time
when Cambridge had the lowest proportion of women undergraduates of any university in the UK. Up to that time
there were only two colleges that could accept women, Girton and Newnham, both founded in the late nineteenth
century. Hughes Hall (although not a college of the University) was also allowed to admit up to 70 women students in all.
