Cambridge ranks as a world class university, having produced some of the greatest mathematicians, scientists, writers and thinkers and continues to attract and nurture brilliant people today from near and far and in all walks of life ! Discover the Royal Tudor connections - such patronage was unique to Cambridge. As a religious epicentre, Cambridge grew into another shrine, one to intellect. But it was equally a hotbed of intrigue, a centre that inspired and fuelled the imagination of so many whilst conflict and hardship co-existed on the streets. This tour is an affirmation of the value and importance of education, whilst also shining a light on those who could not benefit from that privilege ! See the different locations, hear the stories and above all experience what is it like to walk in the footsteps of those who were born to change the world !
Walking through 800 years of history, from the oldest college in the 13th to the early 21st centuries, we will view the Medieval and Tudor colleges, ceremonial buildings, churches and other locations where the great alumni of the University lived and worked. Alumni and professors include humanist, Erasmus of Rotterdam, poet, Christopher Marlowe, Isaac Newton, Lord Byron, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, Xu Zhimo and of course, King Charles III, to name just a few. Learn why and how, from the early 19th century onwards, many alumni were dubbed the Atoms and Apostles. In order to see the memorial to Chinese poet and alumnus, Xu Zhimo, ticketed entry to kings College is required ( these also include entry to the chapel). It will also add extra time to the tour.
