During the early history of the University of Cambridge, the title professor simply denoted a doctor who taught in the university, a usage that continues to be found in, for example, United States universities.
However, from the 16th century onwards in Cambridge it was used to denote those holding " Chair (official) " that had been founded by the university in a particular subject or endowed by a benefaction.
The first five Regius Professorships, sometimes referred to as the Henry VIII of England Regius Professors, were granted arms and crests in 1590.

 John Coates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor John Henry Coates, FRS (born January 26, 1945) is a mathematician who holds (since 1986) the position of Sadleirian Professor (of pure mathematics) at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
Coates was born in New South Wales, Australia, and studied at the Australian National University from which he gained a B.Sc.
Here he supervised the PhD of Andrew Wiles, the mathematician who went on to find a proof of Fermat's last theorem - in which Coates's work on elliptic curves, Iwasawa theory, and p-adic L-functions helped greatly.

These notes were used by Erdelyi, professor at Edinburgh, in connection with a course he gave at the tenth Summer Research Institute of the Australian Mathematical Society and have been used for a course at the University of New South Wales.

Next, he successfully influenced all scientific appointments, such as the choice of professors in the ancient universities and of the Astronomer Royal, with the result that Newtonian philosophy became deeply embedded everywhere.
In particular, his immediate successor as Savilian professor, Thomas Hornsby, masterminded the construction of the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford a beautiful building, based on the Tower of the Winds in Athens, which soon became the best-equipped astronomical observatory in the world.
One of Oxfords reformers at this time was the Savilian professor of geometry from 1827 to 1860, the Reverend Baden Powell, who wrote texts in geometry and calculus, made significant discoveries in optics, and was a populariser of mathematics and science.

thumbG. Hardy Professor Godfrey Harold Hardy FRS (February 7, 1877 – December 1, 1947) was a prominent British mathematician, known for his achievements in number theory and mathematical analysis.
British mathematicians remained largely in the tradition of applied mathematics, in thrall to the reputation of Isaac Newton; Hardy was in tune with the ''cours d'analyse'' methods dominant in France, and aggressively promoted his conception of pure mathematics, in particular against the hydrodynamics which was an important part of Cambridge mathematics.
Hardy was Sadleirian Professor at Cambridge from 1931 to 1942; he had left Cambridge to take the Savilian Chair of Geometry at Oxford in the aftermath of the Bertrand

During World War I, Hardy was unhappy at Cambridge, and he took the opportunity to leave in 1919 when he was appointed as Savilian professor of geometry at Oxford.
These are the years when he produced his best mathematics in the collaboration with Littlewood.
Despite having been unhappy at Cambridge, Hardy returned to the Sadleirian chair there in 1931 when Hobson retired, because he still considered Cambridge the center of English mathematics, and the Sadleirian chair was the foremost mathematics chair in England.

The simple truth is that mankind in general is not concerned with the understanding of the kind of physics or mathematics that fills the minds of many of our university professors.
However, technology has become important to our daily lives and there are certain basic teachings that physics in its applied form does contribute to that spectrum of activity, so I must not decry what physics at its applied level does offer to our well being.

Hardy believed that this work had been of major importance in the development of pure mathematics in Britain.
