Museum of Cambridge and Old Quarter Tour

Printed paper Voucher Required

Want to hear about the history of Cambridge beyond just the history of the University? The tour begins with the origins of Cambridge and the Castle Mound site, before the University came to the town. You will learn about the history of the White Horse Inn to Leach pub signs, from Napoleon invading(!) to traffic lights. It will conjure up images of people dropping in for a pint at the magnificent old inn building, and consider the burning issues of the day they may have been discussing.

Find out about the biggest dinner in Cambridge, the origins of the word snob, and which toys kids would have been allowed to play with on Sundays. If you are lucky, you might hear of links to Graham Greene, Charles Darwin and Stephen Hawking, and discover why being giant, a witch or a good liar is not a bad thing.
