History of Little Trinity

The history of the site can be traced back to grants of land made to the nunnery of St Radegund in the 13th century and the first evidence of a building on the site dates to 1392 when a cottage was left by Roger Mason to his executors to be sold to discharge his debts. Further evidence of a house on the site comes from a reversionary lease granted in 1579 to John Harvey (burgess and draper). The lease was for 40 years indicating it was for a house rather than just land. Harvey assigned the remainder of his term four years later in 1583 to Thomas Hodiloe, a beer brewer and the tenant of the Brewhouse belonging to the College in Magdalene Street. There are then stated to be buildings on the site.

There were frequent changes of lessee during the Commonwealth which was typical of the period including to Thomas Docwra in 1657 (he was a Quaker and owned the site of the present meeting house of the Society of Friends in Jesus Lane).

In 1672 the Fox family acquired the house and held the lease until 1754 when Mrs Fox sold it to Charles Beridge LL.D who build the present house. It has been described by the Royal Commission in City of Cambridge. A Survey and Inventory by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments who date it to c. 1725 based on its domestic architecture. However, Freda Jones (Archivist and wife of a former Fellow who did extensive research into the College’s property) dates it to c. 1755. Her evidence is the amount paid in fines in subsequent leases (see detailed notes for her explanation).

In 1782 the remainder of Dr Beridge’s lease was alienated to Lettice King (niece of Dr Caryl, Master 1758-1781) on her marriage to William Roberts.

The Roberts family held the lease until 1876 when the Reverend Robert Roberts died. It was leased to John Charles Pearce in 1877 and in 1899 to Mrs Mary Elizabeth Taylor (his daughter). In 1926 the lease was surrendered by Mrs Mary Ethel Emery.

In 1927 it was converted into a Lodging House with 5 sets of rooms for students (not exclusively Jesus College students, for example we have a letter from B. McLean Leach & Sons to the Bursar informing him that Lord Duncannon, a student at Trinity, had asked for his sitting room to be redecorated and asking for permission to clean and varnish the painting above the mantlepiece) and accommodation for a tenant or caretaker. There was no electric lighting in the house at this time.

In 1957 it was converted into a hostel for graduate students.
In 1974 central heating was put in and there was a refurbishment in 1990.

Name ‘Little Trinity’

It has not been possible to find evidence of exactly why it is called Little Trinity.

It was first described as Little Trinity in a lease of 1877 made to John Charles Pearce.

Pearce’s daughter had married James Taylor in 1869 and they had come to live in Cambridge in 1874 where Taylor worked as a Tutor (having previously been an undergraduate of Trinity College).

They moved into Little Trinity somewhere between 1877, when the lease was taken, and 1881 when they are listed as occupants in the 1881 census which also refers to No. 16 as ‘Little Trinity’ (it doesn’t in the 1871 census). Taylor continued to work as a tutor for Trinity students up until his death in 1914. His funeral was held in the Chapel at Trinity College where the flag flew at half mast.
