A little further along St Andrew's Street from the Fellows' Garden is Emmanuel College (tel 01223/334200), whose stolid Neoclassical facade hides a neat and trim Front Court, where the college chapel was designed by Wren in a simple classical style, its wood-panelled nave set beneath a fancy stucco ceiling. The college was founded in 1584 to train a new generation of Protestant clergy following the Reformation. Emmanuel men were numbered among the Pilgrims who settled New England, which not only explains the derivation of the place name Cambridge in Massachusetts but also accounts for Harvard University - John Harvard , another alumnus, is remembered by a memorial window in the chapel.
