History of St Peter's Vicarage

Approx. location

In Vanishing Cambridge by Mike Petty, there is an excerpt p.49 from T D Atkinson, Old House in Cambridge, 1908 – PCAS vol.13: This is a house of, perhaps, some 130 to 150 years old. It is now divided into three cottages [nos 9, 10 & 11 Mount Pleasant] the middle and eastern ones containing features of interest. The lower front room of the centre cottage is of panelled oak, with pictures painted on the frame-like panels. … It has been erected on the edge of the sloping bank which formed the defence, on the western side, of the enclosure of the Norman Castle. The road outside runs along the bottom of the ancient fosse.

1913

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
