About this book
Cambridge, by M. A. R. Tuker, says that the course of a river determines the history of a town, as it first determines its site. The text says Cambridge was at no period of its history a great or even a prosperous commercial centre.
The text says that twelve years later the king gave a charter to the burgesses. The text describes the chant of the Ely monks as wafted out upon the water while Canute bids his men rest a moment on their oars to listen. The text names Lady Margaret Beaufort, daughter of the first Duke of Somerset, as the one to whom John Fisher brought the design, and says that on the site of God’s House she erected her own Christ’s College.
