A round the colleges route to Downing Street (14)
Peterhouse, Cambridge
In search of the sixteen
Over the last few years I've done a lot of work on Wikipedia on the 16 Cantabularian Colleges founded before 1596, so I wanted to see as many of them as I could in the time it would take my mother and sister to go round the latest exhibition at the Fitzwilliam. When eventually they had finished they rang. "Where are you?" they asked.
I looked up. "Downing Street."
"Crikey, you've walked a long way!"
(Fun fact: there are 19 Downing Streets in the UK)
Peterhouse
Peterhouse is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It is the oldest college of the University, having been founded in 1284 by Hugo de Balsham, Bishop of Ely. The modern name of Peterhouse does not include the word "college".
