Cambridge had a flavour of education in the air.

It is an old English university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire. It lies approximately 80 km north-northeast of London. The city is also at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen and is one of the major constituent parts of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.

The name Cambridge is best known for the University of Cambridge, which includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library.

Little bit of History

Settlements have existed around the area since before the Roman Empire. The earliest clear evidence of occupation, a collection of hunting weapons, is from the Late Bronze Age, starting around 1000 BC. The first major development of the area began with the Roman invasion of Britain in about AD 40. After the Romans had left, Saxons took over the land on and around Castle Hill. The arrival of the Vikings in Cambridge was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in 875. Viking rule, the Danelaw, had been imposed by 878. The Vikings' vigorous trading habits caused Cambridge to grow rapidly. After the end of the Viking period the Saxons enjoyed a brief return to power, building St Benet's church in 1025. It is still there in Bene't Street.

Two years after his conquest of England, in 1068, William of Normandy built a castle on Castle Hill. Like the rest of the new kingdom, Cambridge fell under the control of the King and his deputies. By Norman times the name of the town had mutated to Grentabrige or Cantebrigge (Grantbridge), while the river that flowed through it was called the Granta.

Later the name of the town changed to Cambridge. The University, formed 1209, uses a Latin adjective cantabrigiensis- often contracted to “Cantab”- to mean “of Cambridge”, but this is obviously a back-formation from the English name.
The University began in 1209

Students escaping from hostile townspeople in Oxford fled to Cambridge and formed a University there. The railway and station were built in 1845. Despite having a University, Cambridge was not granted its city charter until 1951. Cambridge does not have a cathedral, which was traditionally a pre-requisite for city status.
