Recently, residents were treated to a rare and fascinating opportunity to explore one of Cambridge's best-kept secrets - the Historical Printing Room. Click below to discover more.

It’s turning out to be a busy year for our local history tours. Later this month there’s a rare opportunity to visit the Historical Print Room at the University Library, where two of our own Riversiders will be our expert guides. But this week, we stayed closer to home — exploring the fascinating past of the “Kite” district.

This weekend offers the chance to step behind the hornbeam hedges and rose-covered walls of the house on the corner of New Square, where a beautiful English cottage garden is open to visitors.

Our local history tours continued this month with a visit to Jesus College Chapel and All Saints' Church (known to many as the Painted Church), where we learned about the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement and the Victorian Gothic revival on these Cambridge landmarks.
