Map
John Alcock, then Bishop of Ely, founded the college in 1496 on the site of a Benedictine nunnery. Jesus Chapel, which is adjacent to the college, predates the college itself and was built in the eleventh Century, making it the oldest remaining university building still in use. Jesus is one of the most beautiful colleges, but because it is situated slightly away from the city centre it attracts fewer tourists. In the summer term the college extends the unusual right for anyone to walk across the grass of the institution.
