| In the early seventeenth century, Broadgates Hall, which had been a University hostel for law students since its construction in the fifteenth century, was converted to form Pembroke College. The college then proceeded to expand around Broadgates, building "Old Quad" in the 1600s. Space restrictions saw the south-side of the Quad built directly on top of the old City Wall. A Chapel was built in 1732, and the introduction of further accommodation and the Hall in the mid-nineteenth century created "Chapel Quad". |
