Pembroke College

The widow of the Earl of Pembroke was granted a  licence to establish a new college at the University  in 1347. The college was later renamed Pembroke Hall, and finally became Pembroke College in 1856.

William Pitt the Younger


Pitt was a student at Pembroke and became the youngest Prime Minister in 1783 at 24. He was the man many would love to hate for introducing the income tax. Although it was meant to be a temporary measure then, it has now become a certainty besides death.
