Pembroke. In 1861 Peterhouse sold to Pembroke the field called S. Peter's Close for £1600. The old walls (AFG, FHIK, fig. 1) together with that which bounded the Master's garden on the east, have since been thrown down, and the whole of this large space laid out as pleasure ground. A dwarf wall (OP, fig. 1), carrying an iron railing, now bounds the Fellows' garden on the West. The lanes have of course been closed.

The houses called "Crossinge Place" were bought by the College in 1737 with part of the money bequeathed to it by Richard Crossinge, late Fellow. They had once been the property of Dr Andrew Perne; and subsequently of Dr Charles Beaumont. They were rebuilt in 1814 by William Custance, a surveyor, and let to various occupiers until the ground was required for the new range of chambers erected in 1871.]

CHAPTER II.

DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE BUILDINGS TO THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.

THE first, or Old Court, is entered from Trumpington Street, by an archway near the north-west corner. It is somewhat irregular, measuring 96 feet 6 inches long upon its northern side, and 94 feet 7 inches upon its southern. The western side measures 52 feet 5 inches; the eastern 53 feet 6 inches1. The north side is partly occupied by a building which was once the Chapel, but is now the Library; and partly by a range of chambers in two stories with garrets. The chamber on the ground floor next to the Library was the ancient vestry of the Chapel, from which it was entered by a door, now blocked, in the eastern wall. It is now entered by a separate door (A, fig. 2).

1 [The accompanying plan (fig. 2) has been drawn from memoranda left by Professor Willis, tested by actual measurement. The south side of the Court the Lodge and the Hall having been since destroyed, the plan has been drawn on a scale of forty feet to the inch, so as to shew the different parts of the old College with sufficient minuteness.]
