Clare College is the second oldest of the Cambridge colleges, originally founded in 1326 as University Hall. Twelve years later, Lady Elizabeth of Clare refounded the college, which became Clare College in 1856, and a separate graduate college, Clare Hall, was founded in the 60s. Look for Lady Elizabeth's crest above the door to the small hall. The crest is edged with tears: she was widowed three times before her 30th birthday! The Fellows' Garden is open to visitors, one of the finest college gardens in Cambridge. Famous alumni include Hugh Latimer (Protestant reformer), James Watson, Siegfried Sassoon and Matthew Parris.
