| Founded in 1284, Peterhouse is the oldest of the colleges of Cambridge University. Its main site is situated on Trumpington Street, to the south of Cambridge town centre, with a large portion of the college just to the north of the Fitzwilliam Museum, with grounds which run behind the museum. (See the map below.) The College was at one time known as St Peter's College. The word "college" is not used in the title today. |
