Burrell's Field is a part of Trinity College, Cambridge, between Queen's Road and Grange Road. It comprises three parts:

  1. four Victorian houses;
  2. Adrian house and Butler house, built in the 1970s;
  3. a new development completed in 1995 by MacCormac Jamieson Prichard, and opened by the Queen. This complex provides accommodation for students and a small number of fellows, along with a common room and other amenities.

Although not based around courts, the newer buildings do follow Cambridge tradition in that all rooms are accessed via staircases rather than corridors.

Burrell's Field adjoins the Fellows' garden and is very close to Cambridge University Library.
