Faculty of Divinity, Cambridge

Divinity has been taught in the University of Cambridge since its foundation in the early 13th century [1] (around the time that the university itself was founded [2]). The Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity is the oldest professorial chair in the university, being established in 1502 [1]. Divinity (in some form or other) is one of only two subjects to have been taught continuously throughout the history of the University[3].
