On our way on the train looking out the windows, the view is breath taking -how green and open the fields are. I can see for miles. Looking at all the houses, I can just see all the history that is in the house. Every house has at least one chimney; it’s very different than our houses in the United States. Also on the train we saw wind turbines and they seem a lot bigger here than the ones in the United States. The wind turbines in the United States take up a lot of space, whereas, in Great Britain their turbines are bigger and need less space. We had to get off in Ely to transfer to another train that went to Cambridge.
Cambridge came from the bridge that goes over Cam River. Guild Hall is the coat of arms of Cambridge, and everyone that has been there from wars put their mark on it. Twelve hundred and nine students came from Oxford University. When the students arrived they lived with monks; then the area became colleges: there are thirty one. Small group and lecture are the students’ tuition. The students go for three semesters of eight week classes. Students come to Cambridge University for three years and graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. If the student on graduation day is wearing a red or blue cloak, they are graduating with their masters degree. Students still climb the buildings at night to see how far around Cambridge they can go. Two of the colleges are just for women; the rest are mixed. We had a very cozy tour around the college.
Other places we visited-
Eagle Pub was built somewhere between the fourteen to fifteen hundreds. The place was used for people to stop in for the night and take baths. In this same pub Royal Air Force and Americans wrote their name on the ceiling in cigarette smoke.
Saxons came over from Germany and built the St. Benet’s Church which is dated back to one thousand and twenty five. The stone is the only part that is from the original church.
Cavendish Laboratory was built in the eighteen hundreds. Isaac Newton discovered gravity in the laboratory and he went to King’s College. Also discovered in the laboratory was the atom, DNA, etc. The Laboratory of Physical Chemistry is the coat of arms for King’s College. St. Botolph’s, saint of travelers, helped the United States come up with the name Boston which originated from his name. Cambridge University Press is the number one publisher in the world.
King’s College is the third largest college in Cambridge University which was built in fourteen hundred and forty one. King’s College Chapel started out being built by King Henry VI who was very religious. He bought the land and demolished shops, churches, and a college to build this Chapel. The church is the only one made of stone. Out of all thirty one colleges Trinity is the largest and founded by King Henry VIII. The coat of arms on the chapel main entrance represents King Henry III’s sons. One of the coat of arms is blank because the son was born a still birth.
The Fitzwilliam Museum had very magnificent Egypt, Greece, and Roman art, as well as many other cultures.
