        Cambridge is in the east of England. It is fifty miles (80 km) north London and
it is forty miles (64 km) from the nearest sea. Cambridge is in the region of East An-
glia.

                                 Cambridge: the river.

       The river Cam runs through Cambridge. The name Cambridge is – bridge over
the Cam. The Romans came here in the first century A.D. and built the first bridge.
Now there are a lot of bridges over the river. One is the Bridge of Sights. It goes
across the river to St. John’s College. St. John’s College is a part of Cambridge Uni-
versity. The river also runs behind King’s College and under King’s Bridge. Students
of the university can study here because it is often very quiet. But in summer the river
is sometimes very busy. People take rowing boats and punts on the water. You can
hire the boats and punts. It is quite cheap. The river runs behind the back of some col-
lege of the University. This part of Cambridge is «The Backs». There is a bridge at
the back Queens’ College. It is the «Mathematical» Bridge ( or Queens’ Bridge).
Clare Bridge is at the back of Clare College. Many people say “It is a beautiful
bridge. The best in Cambridge”.

quickly. In the 1300 it was a busy market town. In the years 1250-1550 the Univer-
sity grew quickly too. Students and teachers came from Oxford and started their own
university in Cambridge. The first university college was Peter house College. The
Bishop of Ely founded it. He bought two houses and gave money to students. The
college opened in 1284. In the old college there was also a chapel, (a small church).
People in the college built the chapel again in the 1660. Many colleges in Cambridge
have Chapels in them. The first students often had lessons in the Chapel.
       King’s College opened in 1441. King Henry I (1422-1461) gave money to the
college. The chapel was the first building. The ceiling of King’s College Chapel is
