St John's Cambridge

St John’s College, Cambridge was founded in 1511 and is one of the largest and wealthiest of the Cambridge Colleges.

Like many of the other colleges of Cambridge University, the full name of St John’s College is quite lengthy.

The full name of the College – ‘The Master, Fellows and Scholars of the College of St John the Evangelist in the University of Cambridge’, is understandably shortened and known more familiarly as St. John’s (or sometimes just John’s).
