Join Nigel Fenner (Downing 1981), on a walking tour exploring a little known revolution out of Cambridge in the 19th century some consider ‘as important as the Industrialand Agricultural revolutions that preceded it". Nigel was a University Football Blue, also related to Frank Fenner, a local tobacconist who did much more than create a cricket ground.

Laurie Bristow, President of Hughes Hall, was the last UK ambassador to Afghanistan during the fall of Kabul in 2021. He will talk about what happened, why and why it matters.

The talk will be about the remarkable history and heritage of Great St Mary's over 800 years. There will then be a tour of the church and its unique features and architecture, and followed by the option to climb the tower to see the panoramic views of Cambridge and the Colleges!
