Ziegler became director of law studies at Pembroke College and was known as ‘Charlie.’ He had been an exceptional student and graduated in June 1912, taking a Masters in 1918. The book ‘The Great Escape: The Life and Death of Roger Bushell – Love, Betrayal, Bix X and The Great Escape’ by Simon Pearson (2013) records that it was said Ziegler ‘ had the deserved reputation of being able to get the dullest people through their exams, and he coached across the university from 1913 to 1952.” Ziegler had a black box containing a deaf aid wired to headphones that would emit loud squeaks and buzzes as he adjusted it.

He wrote 4 works in 35 publications in English and German.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
