Old Schools

To the east is the University of Cambridge Senate House where degree ceremonies are held, on King's Parade.

To the south, the scene is dominated by the large King's College Chapel.

[4] It formed the Old Court of King's College, but was bought by University and partly demolished in 1829.

The west range was completed in 1864–7 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and in 1889–90 by John Loughborough Pearson.

The north wing designed by Charles Robert Cockerell and built 1836-7 in a grand classical style was originally part of a scheme to rebuild the entire building.
