SUMMARY:Talk: House of Spies
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1942\, Farm Hall in Godmanchester was requisitioned by the RAF and became Station 61b\, part of the Special Intelligence Service. Over the next three years\, agents from almost every occupied country passed through the Hall on their way to an uncertain future. When\, in the spring of 1945\, agents were no longer being dropped \,the Hall was transformed into a ‘holding’ property for 10 German nuclear scientists\, captured during the advance into Europe. Unbeknown to them\, every room was ‘bugged’\, even the garden. They stayed there until January 1946\, never once suspecting that their every word was recorded. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoger Leivers moved to Godmanchester in 1989\, and started doing World War I and World War II walks around the town\, and then became a volunteer with the local museum. In 2012\, he started work on his first book\, Stirling to Essen\, which covered the crew of a crashed short stirling bomber near his town. The book was published in 2017 and has now sold over 4\,000 copies worldwide. Four years later\, Godmanchester at War was published in hardback\, with over 1\,000 copies sold. \nAlong with other activities\, this has enabled Roger to donate over £40\,000 to a wide variety of causes in memory of the people who’s stories he tells. Book number 3 is in it’s planning stage! \nYou can find out more about the Godmanchester Stirling here. \nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge. We kindly suggest a donation of £8\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £7 for Standard\, £6 for Concession).

SUMMARY:Talk: Firestarter: From Shelford hero to the gallows on Castle Hill
DESCRIPTION:Firestarter: The Fiery Life and Controversial Death of John Stallon\, the Shelford Arsonist is part true-crime mystery\, part historical investigation. Set in the early 19th century\, it is the tale of a farm worker who gains notoriety for setting multiple fires on farms in a village near to Cambridge. It is also the story of how that village determines to rid itself of a man whose actions are not only disruptive but are a distraction from the drive for ‘progress’. \nWas Stallon a revolutionary or a compulsive sociopath? A wronged man or a terrorist? History can’t tell us with certainty which of these labels fits John Stallon best\, but each reader can make their own judgment\, based on the evidence Firestarter claws back from history’s obscure sources. \nJoin Fraser Grace\, author of Firestarter\, as he reads from his book and talks about the joys and challenges of bringing ‘undocumented lives’ from the nineteenth century into print. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n \nFraser Grace is a freelance writer\, and Senior Teaching Associate at the University of Cambridge\, co-directing the Creative Writing Masters’ programme in Writing for Performance. \nBest known as a playwright\, his play Breakfast with Mugabe was first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company directed by Antony Sher in 2005\, before being broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and The World Service. Further productions followed in the UK and the USA\,  and most recently at The Market Theatre\, Johannesburg in July/August 2025. \nHis new book Firestarter is available from Galileo Publications\, and can be purchased at the Museum shop. \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge. We kindly suggest a donation of £8\, which includes the talk and entry to the Museum of Cambridge (usually £7 for Standard\, £6 for Concession). Your donation supports the daily running and conservation care of the Museum\, an independent charity. \n\n\n\nBook Now!\n\nAccessibility \nYou can also read about our accessibility information on our website.

SUMMARY:Talk: A Cambridge Diary: A 365 day project that took 13 years
DESCRIPTION:Martin Bond is a professional photographer who has lived in Cambridge all his life. His personal photography project — A Cambridge Diary\, saw him post a photograph of his hometown online every day for more than thirteen years. At the end of last year at number 5\,000\, he published his final continuous daily picture receiving the attention of national and international media including The Guardian\, BBC and Smithsonian Magazine. He has published two books – ’Town & Gown’ and ’Time & Space’ – each with a picture for every day of the year selected from his archive of photographs. Martin will be talking about his Cambridge Diary project\, his photography and the importance of the viewer in the creative process. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nMartin Bond was born in Cambridge and has lived in the city all his life. His grandparents ran The Little Rose Public House\, which still trades on Trumpington Street opposite the Fitzwilliam Museum. His mother was an invoicing clerk at Pye Telecommunications\, while his father\, a carpenter\, worked for Coulson & Son\, both businesses with a long history in Cambridge. He has a younger sister and two nephews. \nMartin’s chequered career includes employment as a building surveyor with Coulson & Son\, a retail manager for Andy’s Records\, a singer in professional show band Cops\, Advertising Manager for the Cambridge Evening News and Marketing Director for London media agency Mediaforce. \nIn 2001 Martin left his job in the City and started working as a freelance graphic artist. During this period of self-employment one of his clients asked about some photography work and occasional requests developed into regular assignments for prestigious brands including Jaguar and Coutts & Co. Accidentally\, Martin found that he had become a professional photographer and has continued in this profession. \nFind out more about Martin at acambridgediary.co.uk  and cambridgebooks.co.uk \n\nSupporting the Museum of Cambridge\nThe Museum of Cambridge is an independent Charity and is not part of either the Cambridge Council or the University of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Activity: Ghost Hunt in May with Ghost Hunt UK
DESCRIPTION:What restless spirits roam the corridors and rooms of your Museum once darkness falls…?\n \nOver hundreds of years\, we must have gathered a ghost or two along the way. We know from very recent experience that our spectral residents are active and abroad.  \nJoin us and our friends from Ghost Hunt UK for a night of paranormal investigation and experience the Museum of Cambridge in a new and very different way. \nThe evening will include a group vigil in as well as a opportunity to explore the unique atmosphere of our building on your own. The Ghost Hunt team will bring a variety of equipment for you to use in your investigations\, including K2 electromotive force meters\, dowsing rods\, a spirit box and a Ghost Ark. There will be a chance to communicate with our etherial inhabitants through glass work\, table tipping and a spirit board. \nTickets are available from the Ghost Hunt UK booking page. We can guarantee that it will be a night that you will not forget in a long time… \nYou can find out more about some of the supernatural happenings at our Museum from our blog.
