Nevile's Court, Trinity College, Cambridge

Nevile's Court is a court in Trinity College, Cambridge, created by a bequest by the college's master, Thomas Nevile.

The east side is dominated by the college's Great Hall, and the north and south sides house college rooms for fellows (and a few students) raised above the cloisters. It was in the north cloister that Isaac Newton stamped his foot to time the echos and determine the speed of sound for the first time.

The initial court, completed in 1612 was approximately 60% of its current length, with a west side consisting of a wall in which was set a gate leading to the river-bank. (The gate, known as Nevile's Gate, now stands as an entrance to the college from Trinity Lane.)

The west side was transformed in 1673 when the master, Isaac Barrow persuaded his friend Christopher Wren to design a library for the college. The Wren Library was completed in 1695 and is a masterpiece of the classical style. At the same time, the north and south sides were extended, to reach the new library.

Nevile's Court was extensively restored and remodelled in the 18th century.
