    Peterhouse is the oldest of the Cambridge Colleges, founded by Hugo de Balsham, Bishop of Ely in 1284 and granted its charter by King Edward I. It is the smallest college in terms of number of Fellows and students. Alumni include five Nobel Prize winners, and Frank Whittle, Lord Kelvin, Henry Cavendish, and David Mitchell.
