Sidney Sussex College (referred to informally as "Sidney") is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge[4] in England. The College was founded in 1596 under the terms of the will of Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex (1531–1589), wife of Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex, and named after its foundress. In her will, Lady Sidney left the sum of £5,000 together with some plate to found a new College at Cambridge University "to be called the Lady Frances Sidney Sussex College".[5] Her executors Sir John Harington and Henry Grey, 6th Earl of Kent, supervised by Archbishop John Whitgift, founded the Protestant College seven years after her death.[6]

Sir Benjamin Lockspeiser, the first president of CERN was also an undergraduate at the college, along with psychiatrist W. Ross Ashby. Robert McCance Professor of Experimental Medicine, played a leading part in wartime rationing and 1940s government nutrition efforts. Professor Dame Ann Dowling has been a Fellow since 1977 and is the President of the Royal Academy of Engineering.[7] The inaugural recipient of the Rosalind Franklin award Professor Sue Gibson was an undergraduate at the college.[8] The "father of radio astronomy in Australia"[9][10] Joe Pawsey obtained his PhD at Sidney Sussex in 1935.

Sidney Sussex is one of the smaller colleges at Cambridge, with its sister college being St John's College, Oxford.[11] The student body comprises approximately 355 undergraduates, 275 postgraduates, and around 80 fellows.

History

[edit]

Foundation

[edit]
Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex, Founder of the College

Before Sidney's founding as a Protestant seminary, the site was home to the Grey Friars, or Franciscans, for nearly three centuries. In the 1950s, excavations revealed remnants of the complex, a lay graveyard with reburied skeletons, shattered stained glass, and a large Saxon jar. The medieval cellars beneath Hall Court, where Sidney's wine is stored, are remnants of this era.[12]

The college was founded in 1596 under the terms of the will of Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex (1531–1589), wife of Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex, and named after its foundress. It was from its inception an avowedly Protestant foundation;[6] "some good and godlie moniment for the mainteynance of good learninge". In her will, Lady Frances Sidney left the sum of £5,000 together with some plate to found a new college at Cambridge University "to be called the Lady Frances Sidney Sussex College".[13] Her executors Sir John Harington and Henry Grey, 6th Earl of Kent, supervised by Archbishop John Whitgift, founded the college seven years after her death.[6]

Expansion

[edit]

While the college's geographic size has changed little since 1596, an additional range was added to the original E-shaped buildings in the early 17th century and the appearance of the whole college was changed significantly in the 1820s and 1830s, under the leadership of the master at the time, William Chafy. By the early 19th century, the buildings' original red brick was unfashionable and the hall range was suffering serious structural problems.

The opening up of coal mines on estates left to the college in the 18th century provided extra funds, which were to be devoted to providing a new mathematical library and accommodation for mathematical exhibitioners. Also with those funds, the exterior brick was covered with a layer of cement, the existing buildings were heightened slightly, and the architectural effect was also heightened, under the supervision of Sir Jeffry Wyatville.[14]

In the late nineteenth century, the college's finances received a further boost from the development of the resort of Cleethorpes on college land on the Lincolnshire coast. This land had been purchased in 1616, following a bequest for the benefit of scholars and fellows by Peter Blundell, a merchant from Tiverton, Devon.[17][18] A new wing (Cloister Court), added in 1891 to the designs of John Loughborough Pearson, is stylistically richer than the original buildings and has stone staircases, whereas the stairs in the older buildings are made of timber.[19]

In the early twentieth century, a High Church group among the fellows was instrumental in the rebuilding and enlargement of the chapel, which was provided with a richly carved interior in late seventeenth-century style, designed by Thomas Henry Lyon, and somewhat at odds with the college's original Puritan ethos.[20]

Buildings and grounds

[edit]

Sidney's buildings blend old and new, with the latest addition, the Old Kitchen (new dining space), completed in 2021. Student rooms have kitchen access, but also have catered options.[21] Sidney sits on the site of Cambridge's Franciscan friary, built in the middle of the 13th century and dissolved in the 1530s. Artefacts of the site's past lie beneath the foundations of the college buildings.[22] Sidney Sussex has two courtyards surrounded by Grade I listed buildings dating from 1596.[23]

Chapel Court

[edit]
Chapel Court, Sidney Sussex College

This court incorporates a number of buildings that house offices, the Junior Common Room (JCR) and a wood panelled chapel. The Chapel, for which this court is named, has gone through many forms over the years. The current building was rebuilt in the 18th century, and has been extended a number of times in subsequent centuries. The exterior was entirely remodelled in 1833 to match the Gothic style of the rest of the buildings.

The carved interior of the Chapel was installed in the early 20th century to suit the High Church tastes of a group of college fellows. The Chapel is open throughout the day as a space for the college community, regardless of faith or background.[24]

Hall Court

Hall Court, Sidney Sussex College

Hall Court is enclosed by a range of Gothic buildings incorporating the Master's Lodge, Buttery and the new Kitchen buildings, but the Court's name comes from Sidney's Dining Hall.[25] The dining hall was redesigned by Sir James Burrough in 1752.[26] The hall had been in poor repair, and the 'elegant Rococo room' that emerged from the remodelling was seen as a way to attract students and Fellows. Sidney's Dining Hall features decorated plasterwork, pillars, and an elaborate rococo ceiling with a centrepiece of scrolls and acanthus foliage.[27] A portrait of the college's founder, Lady Frances Sidney, Countess of Sussex, is mounted over the high table.[28]

Cloister Court, Sidney Sussex College

Cloister Court

[edit]

Cloister Court, completed in 1891, was designed by John Loughborough Pearson in the Gothic revival style,[29] incorporating elements that reflect the Franciscan heritage of the site.[30]

Chapel and music

[edit]
Sidney Sussex College Chapel

The old chapel, built by James Essex in the 1770s, was very small at 20 by 30 feet. The old bell, bought from Pembroke Hall in 1707 and recast in 1739, was retained until 1930 when it was replaced with a new one. The work to the new chapel was completed in 1923. The antechapel now contains wall memorials to the dead of the two world wars and to three masters, Parris, Elliston and Chafy. The presence of Oliver Cromwell's head, buried somewhere nearby, is marked by a tablet installed in 1960.

The Choir of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge is made up of six to eight sopranos, six altos (male and female), six tenors, three baritones, and three basses. During term-time the choir has a regular commitment in the chapel to Choral Evensong on Fridays and Sundays and Latin Choral Vespers on Wednesdays.

A number of choral scholarships are available for members of the Sidney Choir. In addition to singing Evensong in the chapel, the Choir has made some recordings and tours regularly in the UK and overseas. The Choir was nominated for a 2013 Gramophone Award in recognition of their disc of the music of Thomas Weelkes.[31] The Sidney Sussex College Music Society organises concerts and recitals, and the college runs a number of instrumental and vocal ensembles. The Sidney Chapel includes a Steinway grand piano, a harpsichord, a chamber organ and a Flentrop organ.

Student life

[edit]

Boat Club

[edit]
Main article: Sidney Sussex College Boat Club
Sidney Sussex College Boathouse

Founded in 1837, the men's side of the club has spent most of its time in the 2nd division of the Lent and May Bumps, with brief times spent in the 1st and 3rd divisions. The men's side of the club generally crews two boats in the Lent Bumps and three boats in the May Bumps. Being a small college, the club has never had the consistency to rise to take a headship of either event, and has been as high as 6th in the Lent Bumps in 1913, and 11th in the May Bumps in 1923.

A women's crew was first formed in 1978 and has spent most of its time hovering between 1st and 2nd divisions in both the Lent and May Bumps. Sidney's 1st Women's VIII re-entered division 1 of the Lent Bumps in 2022 for the first time since 2004, and re-entered division 1 of the May Bumps in 2024 for the first time since 1998. The women's side of the club generally crews one or two boats in the Lent Bumps and two boats in the May Bumps.

In Lent Bumps 2020, Sidney Sussex were the winners of the Marconi Cup,[32] which is awarded to the highest performing of boat club overall. The Women's second boat were winners of blades, bumping a total of five times.

Confraternitas Historica

[edit]
Chapel Court, Sidney Sussex College

The Confraternitas Historica, or Confraternitas Historica Dominae Franciscae Comitis Sussexiae, is the history society of Sidney Sussex College and is reputed to be the longest-running student history society in Europe, having existed since 1910. In fact, no meetings were held from 1914 to 1919 but since, during the First World War, "the University itself almost ceased to function ... the hiatus of 1914–19 is not counted as a break in the continuity of the society".

The Latin name of the society reflects the tastes of Jack Reynolds, the fellow who presided over its creation, who also "endowed the Society with an elaborate Latin initiation ceremony".[33] Similarly, rather than being led by a President, the student in charge of the society is instead 'Princeps'. Other society roles include the 'Magister,' 'Tribune,' 'Pontifex Maximus,' and 'Comes'. During society meetings all attendees are referred to in an egalitarian, though still Latinate, manner. Regardless of academic standing or title, all attendees are given the title of 'soror' (sister) or 'frater' (brother).

Sidney Sussex Cricket Club

[edit]

During Lent term, Sidney holds indoor cricket training sessions, while outdoor training and matches, including the renowned inter-collegiate 'Cuppers' competition, occur in Easter term. Additionally, the college organises social events throughout the academic year.

University Challenge

[edit]

Sidney Sussex College has a strong history on the iconic quiz show University Challenge, having won the competition in both 1971 and 1978–79. The 1978–79 team, consisting of John Gilmore, John Adams, David Lidington, and Nick Graham, not only won the original series but also claimed victory in the University Challenge Reunited competition in 2002, which brought together past winning teams.[34]

During the University Challenge Reunited competition in 2002,[35] the 1979 team had originally secured a place in the semi-finals as the fourth highest-scoring team, with 275 points, before going on to win the competition.[36] They achieved the following impressive scores to victory:[37]

  • First round: Sidney Sussex, 1979: 275 points, Trinity College, Oxford, 1972: 185 points
  • Second round: Sidney Sussex, 1979: 390 points, Somerville College, Oxford, 2002: 90 points
  • Final: Sidney Sussex, 1979: 375 points, Keele University, 1968: 185 points

David Lidington, who later became a prominent member of Theresa May's government, captained the team during the Reunited series. He also featured in a BBC documentary marking 60 years of University Challenge, reflecting on the team's experiences. Nicholas Graham fondly remembered the 2002 competition, recalling the team's initial reservations about returning after so many years but being delighted by their performance.[38]

Sidney Sussex last appeared on University Challenge in 2018.

May Ball

[edit]
Sidney Sussex MayBall 2024

Sidney's first May Ball was in 1894 during Charles Smith's Mastership. In 2010, the Venice-themed May Ball garnered national press attention for its unique punting setup. Recent themes have included 'Light' (2014) and 'Beyond' (2016). In 2022, an 'Arcade' theme featured Pacman, the Ghost Gang, and a neon maze in Hall Court, with the Knox-Shaw Room transformed into a retro arcade.[39]

As with many of the smaller colleges, Sidney Sussex does not run a May Ball every year, instead running a biennial May Ball, on even-numbered years. On odd-numbered years, the college previously hosted an arts festival, which welcomed anyone in Cambridge to attend. Notable guest speakers at the Sidney Arts Festival have included Stephen Fry, in 2015.[40] The college now hosts a June Event on odd-numbered years, which is an event which is shorter, smaller and cheaper to attend than a May Ball.[41]

A Song of Sidney Sussex

[edit]

At the beginning of the 20th century, Ernest Howard Griffiths, a fellow of Sidney Sussex College in 1897[42] wrote a ten verse song dedicated to Sidney Sussex. Each verse systematically identifies, then dismisses other Cambridge colleges for their faults, before settling on Sidney as the best college of all. The chorus exhorts the audience:[43]

'Go travel round the town, my friend, whichever way you please,
From Downing up to Trinity, from Peterhouse to Caius:
Then seek a little College just beside a busy street,
Its name is Sidney Sussex, and you'll find it Bad to Beat.'

Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth

Oliver Cromwell, who matriculated at Sidney Sussex College in 1616, spent his formative years at the college, which was heavily influenced by Puritan thought.[44] His time at Sidney is often cited as instrumental in shaping his religious and political convictions,[45] which later defined his role in the English Civil War and as Lord Protector of England. Though he left before earning a degree, Sidney Sussex College played a notable part in Cromwell's ideological development.[46] Oliver Cromwell's head was interred in 1960 in a secret location near the antechapel.[47]

Other former College members include early historian Thomas Fuller; historical writer Thomas Rymer; the 17th-century poet and dramatist Thomas May; and Dean of Sidney Sussex College and later Bishop Robert Machray.

David Owen, former leader of the Social Democratic Party, now a member of the House of Lords

Another famous alumnus was the theologian and moral philosopher William Wollaston who wrote The Religion of Nature Delineated (1724). Notable legal alumni include Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade (judge on the International Court of Justice from 2009 until his death in 2022).

Politicians

[edit]

Notable politicians to have attended the college include the civil servant Sir Basil Engholm; and the former Foreign Secretary and leader of the Social Democratic Party Lord Owen. Former students also include Chris Grayling; David Lidington; Rebecca Evans; Ken Skates, and the late Brian Lenihan, former Minister of Finance in the Republic of Ireland.

Bletchley Park codebreakers

[edit]

Eleven members of the college worked at Bletchley Park during World War Two. They were Gordon Welchman, a Sidney Research Fellow in Mathematics who recruited many of them, John Herivel, Asa Briggs, Paul Coales, Malcolm Chamberlain, Edward Dudley Smith, John Manisty, Jim Passant, David Rees, Howard Smith (later head of MI5) and Leslie Yoxall (famous for his work in Hut 8 on breaking the German naval officers' code).[citation needed]

[edit]

Recent alumni of Sidney Sussex College include prominent figures across various fields. Andrew Rawnsley, author, broadcaster, and Associate Editor of The Observer newspaper, is among them, as well as Paddy Lowe, former Technical Director of the Mercedes-Benz Formula One team. Carol Vorderman, television host and mathematician known for her role on Countdown, and comedian Alex Horne also studied at Sidney. Additionally, John Madden, the Hollywood director known for the Academy Award-winning Shakespeare in Love, and professor and writer John Fraser are distinguished alumni. In the music industry, Al Doyle (1998) and Felix Martin (1999) of the electronic band Hot Chip are notable alumni, and in 2010, the American composer Eric Whitacre was named Visiting Fellow and Composer-in-Residence.

Lord Karan Bilimoria, founder of Cobra Beer, is one of Sidney Sussex College’s distinguished alumni. As a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords, Lord Bilimoria has made significant contributions to both the business world and public life.

Daniel Levy, a Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge alumnus,[48] earned his degree in Economics and Land Economy before embarking on a successful career in business.[49] He has been the chairman of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur since 2001, making him the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League. During his tenure, Levy has overseen significant developments, including the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the club's transformation into a global brand.[50]

Sherlock Holmes

[edit]

Author Dorothy L. Sayers suggested that, given details in two of the stories, the fictional character Sherlock Holmes must have been at Cambridge rather than Oxford and that "of all the Cambridge Colleges, Sidney Sussex (College) perhaps offered the greatest number of advantages to a man in Holmes's position and, in default of more exact information, we may tentatively place him there".[51]
