St. Cedd's College, Cambridge
St. Cedd's College is a fictional college, created by Douglas Adams, of Cambridge University.
It appears in the Doctor Who serial Shada, and in the novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
It is the home of Professor Chronotis, a retired time traveller who appears in Adams' fiction, and—in the fictional universe—was also the college of Isaac Newton and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It was named after Saint Cedd, brother of Saint Chad, whom Gently describes as "one of the duller Northumbrian saints."
It is based somewhat on Adams's own college, St John's. For Shada, scenes at St. Cedd's were filmed on location at Emmanuel College. In a 2012 episode of the TV adaptation Dirk Gently, Wills Hall at the University of Bristol was used as St. Cedd's College instead.
St. Cedd's College is also mentioned in the Torchwood online game, made during the show's second series. It is said to be the college attended by Dr. John Winters, a fictional character within the game.
