What is Corpus Christi College, Cambridge?
[[File:Chapel of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge - 20100915.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Corpus Christi College, New Court]] '''Corpus Christi College''' (full name:'''The College of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary''') is one of the colleges of the [[University of Cambridge]], [[England]]. It was built in 1352 and is special because it was created by local people living in [[Cambridge]], not by [[royal]]s or [[noble]]s as most of the other colleges. It is one of the smallest colleges with about 450 students. Corpus Christi College has the oldest court in Europe, Old Court, finished in 1356. The New Court, that also has the chapel (small church), was built in 1827. On the corner of the student's library there is the [[Corpus Clock]], a clock made of gold which has a very complicated mechanism. The clock is visible on the main street of [[Cambridge]], King's Parade. The college has another library, the ''[[Parker library]]'', that has very old and precious books.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/parker-library|title=The Parker Library|access-date=10 December 2012|archive-date=11 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121211032439/http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/parker-library|url-status=dead}}</ref> Some very famous people have studied here, like [[Thomas Cavendish]]. == References == {{Reflist}} == Other websites == *[http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/ Official website] {{University of Cambridge}} [[Category:Colleges of the University of Cambridge]] [[Category:14th-century establishments in England]] [[Category:1350s establishments in Europe]]
