List of corrections 1:05: The combination room and hall's current facade is not 'original' but dates from the 19th-century. The structure itself is medieval but was often restored in differing styles, the bay window for example, is entirely a 19th-century addition. 2:27: The most recent Peterhouse may ball is 'white tie preferred' not mandatory. 3:54: Far longer than 30 years ago, the last of the deer died out in 1935, slowly dying out due to a possible hereditary disease. 4:21: the current orchard is not new, an orchard has existed there since WWII. 4:37: Not the private master's garden but the fellow's garden connected to the combination room. 10:10: The stained glass on the East side is original and also the only stained glass window with the others being 19th-century painted glass from Munich. 11:02: Peterhouse was never a convent. It was founded as a secular institution, built next to Little St Mary's formerly St Peters's church. 11:58: St Peter's Terrace is mostly undergraduate accommodation. 14:00: The Whittle building is not a renovated building but a (mostly) entirely new structure. 14:36: The Law Library is not exclusively for law students but for everyone to use, it is just where the law books are. 16:18: Before the construction of the master's lodge across from Peterhouse the master lived in what would be G staircase today. The story described is rumoured to be of Thomas Gray, not the master.
I used to go to Peterhouse for lunch. The crackling fireplace was a welcome structure during winter. People politely jostled for the tables closest to it. This is the most comprehensive tour of Peterhouse on UA-cam, to date. Thank you for uploading this.
