St. Catherine's College, Cambridge UniversitySt. Catherine's was founded as St. Catherine's Hall in 1473 by Robert Wodelarke, Provost of King's College. It originally served as little more than a personal chantry chepel, with the Fellows obliged to celebrate masses and pray for the founder's soul regularly. The college underwent a major rebuilding program in the late 17th century, and the current chapel was only completed in 1704. ST.
