Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outside the Trumpington Gates Before Peterhouse Was Founded: A Chapter in the Intimate History of Medieval Cambridge But What was the extent of the part of Cambridge which the river separated from the Castle Hill? And how far did it reach towards the south and east? This essay will endeavour to illustrate the answer in one direction and for one period. It will survey the Trumpington Road in the thirteenth century. It Will endeavour to prove that, outside the gates and beyond the King's Ditch, there dwelt a number3 of influential members of the University and citizens of the town of Cambridge. The term, Trumpington Road, needs limitation, for even so late as the end of the eighteenth century, the high street of Cambridge right up to its junction with Bridge Street was occasionally called by the name of the well-known village where Chaucer's miller lived. Here we are dealing with the part of the road outside the gates near St Botolph's Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
