History
The licence to build an eighth college in the University of Cambridge was granted by Edward III in 1352 to the newly merged guilds of Corpus Christi and St Mary in the parish of St Bene't's. They immediately began the construction of a single modest court near the parish church and in 1356 it was ready to house a Master and two fellows, who drew up the college's statutes. Continuing their studies in theology and Canon law, they served as chaplains to the guild. This article is about the King of England. ...
Theology finds its scholars pursuing the understanding of and providing reasoned discourse of religion, spirituality and God or the gods. ...
Canon Law is the ecclesiastical law of the Roman Catholic Church. ...
The college's first couple of centuries saw its wealth increase, which was put on display as part of the Corpus Christi guild's annual procession. This involved parading through the streets to Magdalene bridge, before returning for an extravagant dinner. The parade continued until Henry VIII put a stop to it in 1535. âHenry VIIIâ redirects here. ...

Corpus is exceptionally rich in silver, but its greatest treasure is the Parker Library, one of the finest and most important collections of medieval manuscripts in the world. Its most famous possession is the Canterbury Gospels, probably brought to England in 597 AD by St. Augustine, when he was sent by Pope Gregory I to convert the people of Britain. However, it also contains the principal manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, works by Matthew Paris and Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, to name only a few. The Parker Library is the rare books and manuscripts library for Corpus Christi College, Cambridge; it is known throughout the world due to the invaluable collection over 600 manuscripts, particularly medieval texts, the core of which were bequeathed to the College in 1574 by Archibishop Matthew Parker. ...

Christopher Marlowe is perhaps the college's most-celebrated son, having matriculated to Corpus in 1580. Although little is known about his time there, it is often believed that it was during his study for his MA that he began his work as a spy, a claim based on only a single cryptic statement by the Privy Council. In 1953 during renovation of the Master's Lodge a portrait of a man "in the 21st year of his age" was discovered. As the painting is dated 1585, the year Marlowe was 21, it is inevitable that it has been claimed as a portrait of the playwright himself. This article is about the English dramatist. ...

Buildings
Inside the New Court facing the Chapel Old Court, built in the 1350s, is one of Cambridge's oldest buildings and retains many of its original features, including sills and jambs to hold oil-soaked linen in the days prior to the arrival of glass. The court was possibly built from the core of an even older building and is the oldest courtyard in Oxford or Cambridge (a claim disputed by Merton College, Oxford who say the same of their Mob Quad) as well as, some say, the oldest continually inhabited courtyard in the country. A new library complex, designed by Wright & Wright Architects, is in the process of being built in the building on the corner of Trumptington and Bene't Street that used to house the NatWest Bank.

St Bene't's church next door is itself the oldest building in the city, and served as the college's chapel until one was built in around 1500. New Court (completed 1827) was designed by William Wilkins, who is buried in the college chapel. New Court is also the site of the Parker Library, which was begun in 1376 and much improved by a bequest from Matthew Parker, the college's Master between 1544 and 1553, who as Archbishop of Canterbury formed a fine collection of manuscripts from the libraries of dissolved monasteries. This court also houses Butler Library, which is the college's main library used by students. Year 1827 (MDCCCXXVII) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian Calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 12-day slower Julian calendar). ...

There are also several outlying college properties. These include Bene't Street Hostel and Botolph Court, the former being located just above The Eagle These house students of all years, but a large proportion of rooms are occupied by freshers. Newnham House, which is located near to Newnham College, accommodates mostly second-years. The Robert Beldam Building, adjacent to Bene't Street Hostel is a modern accommodation block. There are also 2 houses (Nos 6 & 8) in Trumpington Street which are almost directly opposite the University Engineering Department, though these have been rented to private tenants since 1999. There is also a graduate campus at Leckhampton, which is situated about a mile west of the main college site, just outside the city centre. Here there are playing fields, 9½ acres (38,000 m²) of gardens, an open air swimming pool and some of the best graduate housing in the University.

- Corpus owns The Eagle Pub (though it is managed by Greene King). Watson and Crick are said to have refreshed themselves in this pub while deliberating over the structure of DNA.
- The chapel's three windows by the same stained-glass artist appear at the beginning of a story by M.R. James, The Treasure of Abbot Thomas.
- In Corpus slang, a bop is called a 'slack', and members of the college often refer to themselves as 'Corpuscles'.[1]
- Each Lent term, a one day series of competitions is held against Corpus Cambridge's sister college, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. This competition, the Corpus Challenge, encompasses a number of different field and bar sports and is alternately hosted at Cambridge and Oxford. The 2006 challenge was held in Cambridge and was won by Cambridge for the first time since 1998, with victories in mixed lacrosse, badminton, men's hockey, mixed hockey, ladies football and mixed netball. The 2007 challenge was held in Oxford and won by Oxford.
- The mathematics society is named "T. Batterby" after the last Corpus recipient of the wooden spoon. The spoon is still in the college's possession. and hangs in the Red McCurdy Room
- The law society is named after Nicholas Bacon.
- While the College is known for playwright Christopher Marlowe, its drama society is named the Fletcher Players, after John Fletcher.
- The college Grace is read in Latin at formal dinners in the dining hall. The grace runs as follows: "Benedic, Domine, nobis et his donis tuis, quae de tuae largitate sumus sumpturi, et concede ut, iis salubriter nutriti, tibi debitum obsequium praestare valeamus. Per Christum, Dominum nostrum", to which the response is called out "Amen." When the fellows leave the following is said "Laus Deo, Per Jesum Christum, Dominum nostrum", to which the response is called out "Deo Gratias".
- On Sundays and Feast Days, the Grace is preceded by the following antiphon: "Mensae caelestis participes faciat nos Rex gloriae aeternae".
- The College is said to be haunted by a number of ghosts. Most famous, and feared, is the terrifying apparition of Henry Butts, hero of the plague of 1630, who hanged himself with his garters in the then Master's Lodge on Easter Sunday, 1632 [2]. Butts' ghost was subject to an attempted (and purportedly unsuccessful) exorcism by three students in 1904.[3] Another is that of Elisabeth Spencer, daughter of the master, and her young lover (both dead in 1667). Their ghosts are said to walk on Christmas Eve.[2]
- Corpus was the only college not to sell its silverware in support of either side during the Civil War. That - and its unrivaled collection of manuscripts and massive collection of rare wines and ports - fuels rumours that it is Cambridge's richest college per student. This is a moot point, since these assets cannot be sold and most cannot be valued.[2]
- Part of one of the college's buildings, Botolph Court, which houses some 30 students, is said to be built on top of a 17th century plague pit and slowly sinking into it. This rumour is supported by the old basement under the building, sloping walls and floors and that the building lies just outside the old city wall. The other part is medieval.[2].
- The nickname 'Old House' has historically been used to refer to the whole college, but most usually (if, nowadays, at all) to designate the main college buildings, as opposed to outlying places like Leckhampton (e.g. "After my morning swim at Leckers, I'm going to eat lunch at Old House"). It is no longer in common usage among undergraduates (save for in the Latin form, Floreat antiqua domus (i.e. May the old house flourish), in the college toast), but it is occasionally used by fellows, postgraduates and college staff.[4]
