    He went to Trinity HALL, Cambridge, not Trinity College.

      Encyclopaedia Britannica mentions Trinity College. https://www.britannica.com/biography/J-B-Priestley

        I’ve just looked at that Britannica entry. Three errors in the first three lines. As I’ve already commented, he studied at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, not Trinity College. He took his degree in 1921, not 1922, and it was in Modern History and Political Science (to which he’d switched from English). All the biographies of Priestley that I own say the same. On this evidence, Britannica’s former high reputation for accuracy and authoritativeness appears to be no longer merited.
