The hospital was founded in 1766 on Trumpington Street with £4,500 from the will of Dr John Addenbrooke, a fellow of St Catharine's College.
Addenbrooke's Hospital, which has expanded significantly since its beginnings, is now a major teaching hospital in Cambridge, England.

On one occasion John Addenbrooke, dean of Lichfield, strongly recommended him to translate John Spelman's Life of Alfred the Great from the Latin into English, and Farneworth was about to begin when Samuel Pegge luckily heard of it, and sent him word that the Life of Alfred was originally written in English and thence translated into Latin.
