Sidney Sussex is located in the very heart of Cambridge. Founded in 1596 by Lady Frances Sidney Sussex, the College is home to a diverse and dynamic community of some 350 undergraduate students, 100 graduate students and 50 Fellows.
It has also found time to produce soldiers, political cartoonists, alchemists, spies, murderers, ghosts and arsonists as well as media personalities, film and opera directors, a Premiership football club chairman, best-selling authors, the man who introduced soccer to Hungary, the 1928 Grand National winner and, so they say, Sherlock Holmes. And let's not forget the University Challenge Champions of Champions, 2002. If you wanted to study the history of Britain over the last four hundred years, you could do worse than study the history of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.
