Henry VIII founded Magdalene College (pronounced "mawdlin") in 1542, usurping an older institution run by Benedictine monks. Until the 19th century, it was the only college on the far bank of the river. Visitors enter through the Porter’s lodge into First Court, with the college chapel and dining hall (the latter still without electricity); beyond, in Second Court, is the Pepys Library. When Secretary of the Admiralty, Samuel Pepys, died in 1703 he left his former college hundreds of books, including his own diary of life in Restoration London. Famous alumni include C S Lewis, Samuel Pepys, Gavin Hastings and Charles Kingsley.
