Trinity Hall

Trinity Hall (formally The College or Hall of the Holy Trinity in the University of Cambridge, colloquially "Tit Hall") is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. It is the fifth-oldest surviving college of the university, having been established in 1350 by William Bateman, Bishop of Norwich, to train clergymen in canon law after the Black Death. The college has two sister colleges at the University of Oxford: All Souls and University College. The college owns properties in the centre of Cambridge, on Bateman Street and Thompson's Lane, and on its Wychfield site next to Fitzwilliam College, where most of the college's sporting activity takes place. BBC journalist Mary Hockaday became Master in 2022. Notable alumni include theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Nobel Prize winner David Thouless, Australian prime minister Stanley Bruce, Pakistani prime minister Khawaja Nazimuddin, Canadian governor general David Johnston, philosophers Marshall McLuhan and Galen Strawson, Conservative cabinet minister Geoffrey Howe, Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham, writer J. B. Priestley, violinist George Bridgetower, novelist Ronald Firbank, and Academy Award-winning actress Rachel Weisz.
