Strict clauses had been added to the 1551 statutes so not more than two Fellows could come from the same county of the UK (presumably to discourage cronyism). This was overturned in this 1828 revision: 'in future the society be directed by that part of the original statutes of Lady Clare which declares that no question is to be made of what nation the candidates are'.
The early history of Council appears to begin with a body referred to as "Master and Fellows in College" (c. 1762-1926) and is then succeeded by the "Master and Senior Fellows" (1860-1898) with occasional references to "Masters and Fellows in residence" before finally becoming the Council from 1898; there is some overlap with the history of the Governing Body and some minutes of Council may be found in those volumes with the earliest surviving minutes of Council for 1858-1887 in a volume of mainly Governing Body minutes (CCGB/2/1/6).
The Estates Committee has undergone various name changes and was known before as the Buildings, Amenities and Green Committee, the Buildings and Gardens and Green Strategic Sub Committee (BAGG) and the Liaison Committee before that.

The University Pitt Club, popularly referred to as the Pitt Club was founded in 1835 and named in honour of William Pitt the Younger, who had been a student at Pembroke College, Cambridge. It is now only open to male students at the University of Cambridge. In the past, most of its membership attended certain public schools, however this is no longer a criterion for membership, and some members are now drawn from minor public schools. The Club has premises at 7a Jesus Lane, which was originally designed as Victorian Roman Baths in 1863 by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. ( Details taken from Wikipedia)
