Did you know...

  • Despite having a university, Cambridge was not granted its city charter until 1951. Cambridge does not have a cathedral, traditionally a prerequisite for city status, instead falling within the Church of England Diocese of Ely.
  • You are not allowed to play tennis in the streets of Cambridge by law.
  • Oliver Cromwell is buried in an unmarked grave close to the doors of the Sidney Sussex College Chapel. He was originally buried in Westminster Abbey, but in 1661 Charles II had his body removed to be hanged, drawn and quartered and finally beheaded at Tyburn, his skull displayed on a spike at the Abbey for nearly a quarter of a century.
