With their home ground at Parker’s Piece\, CWICC brought families together\, reshaped the local cricket scene\, and forged enduring community bonds. \n\nNow\, more than 50 years later\, their story is being told by the men who lived it. \nDirected by Lucy Gordon and produced by Ruby Gordon\, the showcase of this short film features original players: Albert Gordon\, Desmond Cuffy\, Graham Rhodes\, and Jerry Lewis. \nJoin us an unforgettable evening of history\, sport and celebration\, Discover how a cricket club helped shape the rich heritage of Cambridge. \nThis is a companion event to our exhibition\, ‘Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge’\, which aims to shine a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK. \n\n\n\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:In Discussion: A Life of Service with Honourable Lieutenant Colonel George Nelson
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of a series of Black History Month events at the Museum of Cambridge; find other events here. \nThe Honourable Lieutenant Colonel George Nelson was born in Jamaica in 1952 and moved to the UK in 1962 at the age of 10. At 15\, following the tragic death of his mother in 1964\, Nelson decided to join the army. His military career began in 1967 when he enlisted in the British Army’s boy service. He eventually served in various roles\, including driver\, radio operator\, and clerk in the Royal Engineers. His military journey took him to places like West Germany\, Northern Ireland\, Gibraltar\, Malta\, and Cyprus\, where he became one of the few black soldiers in many of these units. \nIn 1975\, Nelson married his long-time sweetheart\, with whom he had two children\, and continued his distinguished military career\, rising through the ranks. After 39 years of service\, he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2006. Reflecting on his time in the army\, Nelson speaks proudly of his achievements and the camaraderie he experienced\, particularly in overcoming racial barriers in a predominantly white military. \nJoin Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi for a private interview with Lieutenant Colonel Nelson to celebrate the legacies of Caribbean community in Cambridge.   \nThis is a companion event to our exhibition\, ‘Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge’\, which aims to shine a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK. \n\n\n\n\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:Talk: The Strange History and Homelife of Renaissance Magicians
DESCRIPTION:Join author Rachel Morris for a highly atmospheric exploration of the charismatic magicians of the Tudor and Renaissance courts and the wives and families who kept the whole magical show on the road. \nAll things were believable back then – wizards\, alchemy\, fairies\, angels. This is the story of those magical times. \nThis event will offer a luminous deep dive into the lives of men from Dee to Kepler to Bruno\, who were also scientists\, astrologers\, mathematicians and alchemists. \nThe remarkable ideas of these magical men still permeate modern culture\, from Philip Pullman to C S Lewis. But what do we know of the rest of their households – the lovers\, wives\, mothers and daughters? \nIn The Years of the Wizard Rachel Morris also vividly reimagines the less documented lives of the magicians’ families and lovers whose stories have too often been overshadowed by those of the powerful men in their company. \nWomen supported the travelling households by packing up the libraries\, feeding the assistants\, entertaining the patrons and educating the children as well as archiving\, documenting and collaborating on magical work. Without them\, this astonishing era of discovery would have ground to an emphatic halt. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\nFormer director of the museum-making company Metaphor\, Rachel Morris has been part of the creation\, design and delivery of some of the most exciting displays\, renovations and museums of the last few decades\, from the new Cast Courts at the V&A and the Ashmolean\, Oxford to the Terracotta Warriors at the British Museum and Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Rachel is also the author of The Museum Makers and two novels. \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).

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.

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).

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.
