The College was founded by Bishop Bateman of Norwich in 1350 among the clutch of foundations which emerged in Cambridge shortly after the devastating visitation of the Black Death to the city. It initially specialized in the teaching of Law and retains a reputation for the subject to this day. The out-dated use of Hall in its name to this day is a consequence of the foundation of Trinity College by Henry VIII before Trinity Hall could follow the example of other colleges. The original building was purchased from the monks who lived on the site. Subsequent generations built some beautiful buildings such as the old library, the chapel and the Hall. Among its alumni are to be found the writer J B Priestley, the diarist Samuel Pepys, the spy Donald Maclean, the cricketer David Sheppard, the broadcasters Andrew Marr and Mark Tully, the politician Geoffrey Howe, the cricketer and Bishop David Sheppard, and K Nazimuddin, sometime Prime Minister of Pakistan. Its Old Library contains many fine manuscripts and rare books Many of its more attractive architectural features are the legacy of Sir Nathaniel Lloyd who was Master of the college in the 18th century. The picture was drawn by F Mackenzie and engraved by J Le Keux
