Trinity Hall, or Tit Hall as it is known in the vernacular of the university, is the fifth oldest college of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1350 by William Bateman, bishop of Norwich; the college was intended to teach canon law to students in order to replace priests lost to the Black Death plague of the 1340s.
Historically, Trinity Hall was known for being strong in Law; today, it has strengths not only in Law but across a range of academic subjects including all the sciences and arts. It is also known for its wonderful location on the River Cam, hidden between King's College and Trinity College (in the middle of Cambridge but only known to a select few tourists); its small but beautiful Front Court, Elizabethan Library, and Chapel; its quality food; the approachability of its porters; for the success of its sports teams and its musical and dramatic societies; and last but not least, for its friendly and unpretentious atmosphere.

The Elizabethan Library
It is a relatively small institution when compared to its larger but younger neighbour, Trinity College, founded in 1547, with whom it has a certain rivalry. At first all colleges in Cambridge were known as halls (i.e. Clare College was Clare Hall) and then later changed their names from hall to college. However, when Henry VIII founded Trinity College (thereby in effect stealing Trinity Hall's name) next door, it became clear that Trinity Hall would continue being known as a hall. This is also why it is absolutely incorrect to call it Trinity Hall college.
Recent additions have been made to the college which include the new Jerwood Library overlooking the cam.
TrinityHall is the only all-female Hall of Residence at the St. Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies.
Opened in 1972, the Hall was constructed by funds raised by the Society of Friends of the University, chaired by Sir Hugh O.B. Wodding, Former Chancellor of the University of the West Indies.
The residence was given the name "TrinityHall" in recognition of the large number of ordinary citizens of Trinidad and Tobago (including numerous school children) who responded to the fund raising appeal.
TrinityHall, informally known as "Tit Hall", is the fifth oldest college of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1350 by William Bateman, Bishop of Norwich.
Like the chapel, the Hall of the college was rebuilt by Sir Nathaniel Lloyd and enlarged in the 19th century.
