The college was founded in 1546 by Henry VIII. He merged the two older colleges Michaelhouse and King's Hall and endowed the newly founded college with land and income, most of which came from the confiscated monastery estate.

Trinity College is a college of the University of Cambridge (founded in 1284) and is now home to around 1000 students and around 190 teaching staff. It has a strong academic tradition and has produced 34 Nobel Prize winners and four Fields Medallists.
