WebsiteThe heraldry of Christ's College gatehouse strongly resembles that of St John's College; the simple explanation is that Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, founded both. The Tudor buildings of First Court are hidden behind 18th-century façades. However, the Master's Lodge still bears Lady Margaret's coat-of-arms under a Tudor window. The 17th-century Fellows Building is a good example of pre-Wren classical Cambridge architecture. Beyond it, the Fellows Garden. Poet John Milton is said to have sat under the mulberry tree to write. Famous alumni include General Jan Smuts, John Milton, Charles Darwin and C P Snow. Wheelchair users should note there are some steps into chapel and a gravel path in the garden. The college has unpredictable opening hours. Admission: free
