Westminster College buildings were built in 1899 by the Presbyterian Church of England, to replace their existing one in London. The move to Cambridge was largely at the urging of two remarkable twin sisters, Margaret and Agnes Smith, whose portraits now hang in the main dining hall. The college is a Grade II listed building. Almost all the original work survives, with modern facilities sympathetically introduced. The College is today a Theological College affiliated with Cambridge University with some 50 students; most in training for ministry in the Church. A full English or continental buffet breakfast is included in B&B rates and is usually* served in the College's main dining hall. Dietary requirements can be catered for if advised in advance. Breakfast is served between 7.30am - 9.00am on weekdays, 7.30am - 9.30am on Saturday and 8.00am - 9.30am on Sunday.
