Built c.1230-50 with roof of c.1500; restored 1886 (architect: John Thomas Micklethwaite): www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... ; www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp254-298 (item 59).

Designed by Architettura MCMM , perhaps around 2011, when the school began its transition from a junior school to an all-through primary school. The school takes its name from Bewick Bridge, who was vicar of Cherry Hinton from 1816-1833; he founded the first school in the village in 1832: www.bewickbridge.com/werechanging_detail.asp?Section=21&a... .

Seen from the entrance to the College. The chapel and the flanking cloisters were built 1668-77 to the designs of Christopher Wren; William Sancroft (Master 1662–4) contributed much of the cost: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/13... ; www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp61-71 .

Early to mid-C18 wrought iron gates and overthrow from Rectory Manor House, Enfield, Middlesex, erected here in conjunction with the building of the new university library in 1935: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/13... .

Seen from Clare College bridge and partly obscured by the wall of Clare College garden but worth posting, I hope, for the shadows cast by the low winter sun, even if this must be one of the most photographed buildings in the world, not for its own sake, but because it stands next to King's College chapel. Built 1724-31 to the designs of James Gibbs, and now often known as the Gibbs Building: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... ; www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp98-136 (search for "Fellows' or Gibbs' Building").

From NE. Built 1837-40 to the designs of Charles Robert Cockerell to accommodate the University Library; intended as the first stage of a rebuilding of the Old Schools quadrangle which was never completed. It became the law faculty library after a new university library was built west of the river in the 1930s; more recently taken over by Gonville and Caius College following the construction of a new law faculty building, also west of the river. Listed as "The Cockerell Building (Squire Law Library)": www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... ; RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp9-25 (item 17). The cast-iron railings are separately listed Grade I and are thought to be contemporary with the Senate House of 1722-30, although they have been re-erected: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... .

The main house dates from c.1725, with a lower and probably contemporary kitchen wing to the right; the SE wing (on the far right) may be of C17 origin, but it and the kitchen wing were remodelled to give a uniform appearance, probably in the C19. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/13... ; RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp319-358 , item 222. The garden walls and railings are also early C18, and are separately listed Grade I: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/10... .

On the left is the E side of the Grade I-listed Bishop's Hostel of Trinity College, built 1669-1671 but restored by A. W. Blomfield 1874-78; according to the listing, the windows are C19 (although presumably intended to reproduce the original style) and the dormers are late C18 alterations or replacements of the originals: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... ; RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp209-244 ; illustration of the N side : www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/plate-212 . To the right of the hostel is the early C17 Nevile's Gate, moved here in 1876; in the background is the S side of Trinity College's Great Court, built c.1600 but probably reusing some older material, with later repairs including the rebuilding of the chimneys.

From NE. Formerly the London and County Bank, and later the National Westminster Bank. Probably designed by W. D. Caroë, 1906. The style is described by the Buildings of England as a mixture of C17 and Art Nouveau, although I also see "Arts and crafts" elements in, for example, the chimneys built up from tiles. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... .

Also known as the Priory. The ground floor is a vaulted undercroft, built c.1300, "the only surviving building of a Benedictine nunnery founded in C12 by Isabel de Bolebec. It was probably a warehouse or storeroom for the Prioress's lodging which would have occupied the first floor hall above. In C18 it was acquired by William Hamond of Haling Park, Surrey who rebuilt the first floor" in the early C18, probably also re-cladding most of the exterior of the undercroft, and building the projection at the centre of the S front, although the sections flanking the ground-floor window on the left are said to be largely original: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... . RCHM: www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/vol2/pp96-115 , item 2; see also www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/vol2/plate-70 for the original knapped flintwork on the W wall which is unfortunately invisible in my photo. 1938 photo on Flickr shows the unusual way that the windows open - the lower sections are horizontally sliding sashes.

From right to left, 25-31 Church Street and 17 Market Hill, all of which formed the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. The two gables to the right and section between them (25 and 27 Church Street) originated in the C14 as a house with a central single-storey hall, and were altered, receiving their pargetted plasterwork, in the C17, possibly when the inn was created; the upper floor of the nearer cross-wing was also raised to form a carriageway below. The figures on the nearer gable have been identified as the Wisbech Giant and Tom Hickathrift , or as Gog and Magog . The whole was restored c.1870 when owned by G.S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town . Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... . For the buildings to the left, see here .

From left to right, 17 Market Hill and 31-25 Church Street, all of which formed the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. 17 Market Hill comprises the first two gables (the nearer one is of C16 origin; the next one was the service wing of the C14 house, the remainder of which now forms 29 and 31 Church Street; both sections received pargetted plasterwork in the C17, perhaps at the time that the inn was formed, but were extensively restored in the C19); 29 and 31 Church Street comprise the two small gables and the next jettied gable (the hall and solar cross-wing of a house of C14 origin, altered in C16, decorated with pargetted plasterwork [some of which is dated 1676], and extensively restored in 1871 when owned by G. S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town - according to the listing, "all windows and doorways [were] either remade or heavily restored in Tudor style"); the remaining two jettied gables are on 25 and 27 Church Street ( see here for more information). List descriptions: 17 Market Hill: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... ; 29 and 31 Church Street: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/12... [wrongly identified as 29 and 31 Castle Street]; 25 and 27 Church Street: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... .

Part of the Sun Inn between the mid-C17 and c.1870. Originated in the C14 as a house with a central hall and was altered in the C16 and again in the C17, when it received its pargetted plasterwork (perhaps at the time that the inn was created); the upper floor of the further cross-wing was also raised to form a carriageway below; restored c.1870 after acquisition by G.S. Gibson, a member of a Quaker family prominent in the town. Listing: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11... .
