Joseph Williamson was a student at Queen's, received his BA in 1654, became a Fellow in 1657 and was called to the Bar in 1664. He held many public offices. He is chiefly remembered in the college for planning the Williamson building in response to a shortage of rooms. He was one of the most generous benefactors the College ever had. Peter Lely, portrait painter born in Westphalia, came to England in 1641. He painted for Charles I and in 1661 was appointed Principal Painter to Charles II.
