For centuries\, some species were used as hunting birds because of their keen vision\, powerful talons and sharp beaks. Others were regarded as a threat or a menace. Join us as members of the Raptor Foundation talk about their birds in real life and in local folklore and find out which of the raptor family was once commonly thought to be a witch in disguise! \nWe know that this will be an eagerly anticipated event\, so we are running three 50-minute session during the afternoon\, in order to accommodate as many visitors as possible. You can reserve free places for a session below. \nPlease do not book for multiple sessions. we want as many visitors as possible to be able to take part. If you do\, we reserve the right to cancel all your bookings. \nThe Raptor Foundation is a local organisation based near Huntingdon that exists to protect\, rescue and rehabilitate hawks\, falcons\, owls and other raptors. You can experience a variety of birds up close at their sanctuary and even fly some during daily flight displays. The Foundation runs regular talks and hands-on sessions that include other residents including snakes\, reptiles and meerkats.More information is available from the Raptor Foundation website. \n\nThis activity is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/raptor-day-at-the-museum/ LOCATION:Enid Porter Room\, Museum of Cambridge\, 2-3 Castle Street\, Cambridge\, Cambridgeshire\, CB3 0AQ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Activity,Museum,Talk,Tracing Traditions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/falcon.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180319T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180319T150000 DTSTAMP:20260412T162254 CREATED:20180121T123955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180305T171807Z UID:1265-1521468000-1521471600@www.museumofcambridge.org.uk SUMMARY:Talk: Safeguards Against Witchcraft - Local Protective Practices DESCRIPTION:Expanding the narrative of our current exhibition Safeguards Against Witchcraft\, this session will explore more stories of the protective practices used by the people of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire \nWitches\, warlocks and magic were once a part of everyday life\, provoking fear and trepidation throughout the late Medieval and Early Modern periods. \nSo great was the perceived threat that practising witchcraft became a capital offence in Great Britain during the sixteenth century. Suspicion gripped the people of East Anglia and witch-hunts and the brutal trials of local women\, as well as their families\, became commonplace. \nAlice Samuel\, a resident of the village of Warboys\, became national news when Lady Cromwell fell ill and subsequently died after meeting her\, confirming the locals’ suspicions of witchcraft. Alice and her family were taken to trial and hanged in Huntingdon. \nWhile the violence arising from the witch mania that consumed the country is well known\, the steps taken by individuals to protect their homes\, their kin and themselves are often overlooked. There was so much that could be done to stop a witch from causing harm and all that was needed was a single\, worn shoe… \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum on Monday 19 March to learn more \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/talk-safeguards-against-witchcraft-local-protective-practices/ LOCATION:Dining Parlour\, The Museum of Cambridge\, 2-3 Castle Street\, Cambridge\, Cambridgeshire\, CB3 0AQ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Museum,Talk,Tracing Traditions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/shoesmall.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180327T113000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180506T173000 DTSTAMP:20260412T162254 CREATED:20180120T161956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180409T060409Z UID:1250-1522150200-1525627800@www.museumofcambridge.org.uk SUMMARY:Exhibition: All in a Cave of Snow - the Strange Tale of Elizabeth Woodcock DESCRIPTION:If your curiosity is piqued by the extraordinary\, then we have quite a tale to tell you \nCome visit and discover more about the remarkable Elizabeth Woodcock\, a resident of the village of Impington who survived for nearly eight days in a cave of snow after a fall from her horse on a tempestuous evening in February 1799. \nBased around contemporary accounts\, our exhibition uses objects from our own collection to illustrate Elizabeth’s tremendous fortitude\, as she struggled to survive in her icy cavern with just an almanac\, a snuff box\, a nutcracker\, a red handkerchief and a shoe. We will also explore the obsolete and rather alarming medicinal treatments that she endured after she was found. \nHer amazing survival story spread across the county and then countrywide and many flocked to her with gifts that included bountiful amounts of liquor. Such generous quantities of alcohol – both from well-wishers and from doctors – may well have accelerated her declining health and caused her death just five months later in July. \nPerhaps it might be said that Elizabeth died as a result of kindness… \nVisit our blog and discover the link between Elizabeth\, a common item of clothing and a famous nursery rhyme. \nThis exhibition is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/all-in-a-cave-of-snow-the-strange-tale-of-elizabeth-woodcock/ LOCATION:Fens and Fenland Room\, Museum of Cambridge\, 2/3 Castle Street\, Cambridge\, Cambridgeshire\, CB3 0AQ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,Tracing Traditions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/elizabethwoodcock.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180330 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180501 DTSTAMP:20260412T162254 CREATED:20180322T082703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180411T191020Z UID:1720-1522371600-1525049999@www.museumofcambridge.org.uk SUMMARY:Exhibition: Mary Charlotte Greene - Streets\, Inns\, Yards and Courts of Cambridge\, 1894 - 1950 DESCRIPTION:  We are pleased to announce that we are extending the exhibition for a further fortnight   \n“Cambridge had called me to it and I love the place” \nBorn in 1860 in Takeley\, Essex\, Mary Charlotte Greene had a passion for painting from a young age. She studied at the Colarossi Academy in Paris\, while staying with her sister Helen\, before training at the Royal Academy in London. \nHer initial dismay at a family decision to live in Harston\, Cambridgeshire\, grew into a love of the village\, the surrounding countryside and the nearby town of Cambridge. Working from a studio in a side road off St Andrew’s Street\, she became a prominent member of the Cambridge Drawing Society and served as its President from 1926-29. \nHer early work captures many of the streetscapes\, buildings\, inns\, yards\, and courts of Cambridge that were demolished during the growth and modernisation of the town in the early part of the last century. \nRead more about Mary Charlotte Greene and how she influenced the artist and wood engraver Gwen Raverat on our blog pages for April. \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum from 30 March to view drawings\, watercolours\, oil paintings and prints from our Mary Charlotte Greene Collection and explore her unique record of the history and development of our city.\n \nThis exhibition is part of Capturing Cambridge\, a project funded by Cambridge City Council.

Many incredible and often farfetched tales were told about him for hundreds of years after his death. The alehouses and inns of the county were filled with songs of his adventures. \nWhile he is not forgotten today\, like many other such heroes his story has faded from popular culture. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is a craft and storytelling workshop led by puppet maker and animator Heather Colbert. \nJoin us and help to recount the tales of extraordinary local personalities using puppets that you will make during the session. We will be recording the performance and sharing it on our website for others to learn about these legendary characters. \nHeroines\, Highwaymen and Hereward the Wake: Tales from the Fens is suitable for children aged 7-15.

Even fewer know of the influential role played by the town as well as the gown. \nNigel Fenner will explore the mid-nineteenth century history of sport in the city\, when the rules of modern-day football were first codified\, the Cambridgeshire county cricket team was one of the strongest in the country and local tobacconist and right-arm fast bowler Francis Phillips Fenner was establishing the cricket ground that still carries his name. \nDescended from Francis Phillips Fenner\, Nigel played fly-half to Gareth Edwards in an Old Boys Rugby Match at his school. While studying at the University of Cambridge he represented Downing College at rugby\, cricket\, tennis\, squash and rowing\, for which he won his oar at the May Bumps. He also played football for the University and secured his ‘Blue’ in a game against the University of Oxford at Wembley Stadium. Nigel played for Arsenal Youth and\, for four years\, was the pre-season fitness trainer to Ian Botham and the Somerset County Cricket Club squad. \nHe runs Cambridge Sports Tours. \n\n \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/from-football-to-cricket-the-development-of-sport-in-cambridge/ LOCATION:Enid Porter Room\, Museum of Cambridge\, 2-3 Castle Street\, Cambridge\, Cambridgeshire\, CB3 0AQ\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/footballtocricket.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180505T113000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180601T180000 DTSTAMP:20260412T162254 CREATED:20180504T212042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180528T102317Z UID:2070-1525519800-1527876000@www.museumofcambridge.org.uk SUMMARY:Exhibition: A Loyal Toast DESCRIPTION:From a simple ceremony in a village church to the pomp and circumstance of royal nuptials\, weddings are rarely sedate affairs \nDid you know that the town of Cambridge celebrated the marriage of Prince George\, Duke of York\, and Mary of Tek on 6 July 1893 with a day long programme of games\, concerts\, fireworks and a tea for a thousand of the aged poor on Parker’s Piece? \nThere is no doubt that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials on Saturday 19 May will inspire much of the same joy and happiness\, and we are getting involved.
