People the world over have heard of Cambridge, a city with one of the two most famous universities in the country, but its origins go way back a long way.  In the Roman era the invading Romans built a camp by the River Cam (known to the Romans as Granta) and so the city began.  It later became a Saxon market town, later it was a base for the Danish army in the 9th century and then was a stronghold of the Normans in the 11th century.  It was not until the 13th century that the first college of the university (Peterhouse) was founded by the then Bishop of Ely and over the centuries which followed more and more colleges were added to the University City.  The colleges as well as chapels and churches which belong to the university cover a large proportion of central Cambridge. Many will have heard of, or seen, the mathematical bridge at Queens college.  Apparently the Victorians wanted to know how it had been put together with no metal fastenings in 1749.  However, once they had taken it down they could not put it together again without the use of bolts. The wonderful architecture of many of the colleges attracts visitors from all over the world who come to marvel at the intricate nature of the buildings, notably the chapel of Kings College with its wonderful fan vaulting and beautiful stained glass windows. Many famous people have studied at the university in Cambridge over the centuries, including Samuel Pepys, who left his library, reputed to have been 3000 books, to his old college, Magdalene. Cambridge is home to the famous Fitzwilliam museum founded in the early 19th century.  On show there are artefacts dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome as well as paintings by old Masters as well as ceramics and manuscripts. A good way to see admire the colleges is to take a punt along the river and so enjoy both the experience of this leisurely form of travel and take in the beauties of Cambridge’s architecture. In recent years, a huge science park has established itself on the outskirts of the city and this today is centre of much development in the field of biotechnology as well as electronics. Cambridge has a twice-weekly market in the city centre and has various shopping centres on the outskirts servicing most needs.  However, if you are looking for good quality wedding jewellery, we at The Little Things In Life may be able to help you with our wonderful range of items for the bride, bridesmaids and even guests.
