This book celebrates the completion of one of Cambridge University's oldest colleges: Pembroke College. With chapters written by 16 notable alumni, including Eric Idle, it tells the story of the major redevelopment of the Mill Lane site - its original uses and history, the process of acquisition and of securing planning consent, and the architectural and landscape thinking behind it.

This magnificently illustrated publication also turns its attention to the historic site of Pembroke, and walks the reader through the growth of the College across the centuries: from the fourteenth century, through the building of the Chapel by the young Christopher Wren, through the dramatic changes wrought by Waterhouse and up to the present day. It looks at some of the specific parts of the historic college, at individual buildings, rooms, paths, gardens and works of art, and some of the people through history who have been associated with these.
