Sidney Sussex College was founded in
1596 and named after its foundress, Lady
Frances Sidney[?], Countess of Sussex. It was from its inception an avowedly
Puritan foundation:
some good and godlie moniment for the mainteynance of good learninge.
Oliver Cromwell was among the first students, and it is rumoured that his head is buried beneath the College's chapel.
