SUMMARY:Tour: Cambridge in Context
DESCRIPTION:Want to hear about the history of Cambridge beyond just the history of the University?\n  \nExplore Cambridge’s evolution with the Museum of Cambridge. \nDiscover the stories that shaped one of the world’s most famous cities on our Cambridge in Context walking tour. Led by expert guides from the Museum of Cambridge\, this journey through time brings the city’s rich social history to life\, from the first Roman city to the present day. \nour adventure begins at the Museum’s own home – a beautiful Grade II-listed 16th-century building – before you make your way up to Castle Mound\, the site of a once-mighty Norman fortress built in the 11th century. Though the castle itself has long since disappeared\, the remaining Motte still offers commanding panoramic views over Cambridge. From this historic vantage point\, your guide will reveal how the city’s story first began. \nFrom there\, you will be led along Castle Street up to Magdalene Bridge\, once the only entrance into the historic city\, uncovering tales of change\, innovation\, and resilience that have shaped Cambridge through the centuries. Along the way\, your guide will point out the landmarks and hidden corners that reveal just how much the city has transformed. \nThe tour concludes back at the Museum\, where your ticket includes free admission. With your newfound understanding of Cambridge’s history\, you’ll see the Museum’s collection in a whole new light – imagining the city as it was for generations before us. \nClick here to book now: Museum of Cambridge – Cambridge in Context Tour

SUMMARY:Talk: Mapping Cambridge's History
DESCRIPTION:The Historic Towns Trust’s ‘Historical Map of Cambridge’\, published in December 2024\, portrays the city’s history over nearly two millennia\, from Roman times to the 20th century\, giving equal prominence to Town and University and incorporating the latest findings by archaeologists to illuminate what lies under the present townscape. In this illustrated talk\, Tony Kirby (one of its compilers) will explain how the map was produced\, the research that underlay it\, and how it fits into the long tradition of maps of Cambridge. \n\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUntil his retirement\, Tony Kirby was Co-ordinator of Strategic & Curriculum Planning at Anglia Ruskin University\, having previously been Principal Lecturer in History.

He has also written many commentaries on late 19th/early 20th century 25” Ordnance Survey maps for Alan Godfrey Editions\, and is currently working on that publisher’s new series of Cambridgeshire maps. \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.
