Cambridge

Thursday I took the train to meet Matt in Cambridge. I got there early so I decided to walk from the train station to the college. I attempted to take a shortcut through a garden but got lost.

The path went past several grazing cows.

After I met up with Matt we explored Cambridge for a while.

We went up to the top of St. Mary’s Church. The tight winding staircase passed what looked like a room full of nooses.

It turned out to be the ringing room, located two stories below the bells, which range in weight from 242kg to 1234kg. Four of the bells had been installed by 1515. The remaining eight were installed in the seventeenth century.
