Cambridge, Uk - Circa October 2018: Emmanuel College

Looking rather unadorned from the outside, the 16th-century Emmanuel College ("Emma" to students) is famous for its exquisite chapel designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Seek out the plaque commemorating John Harvard, a scholar here in the 1630s, who later settled in New England and left his money to a certain Cambridge College in Massachusetts – now Harvard University. Contact the college for current hours and entry fees.
