11 King’s Parade

History of 11 King's Parade

Arthur Gray in Cambridge Revisited notes that over the entrance is a red tablet recording that : “Charles Lamb lodged here in August, 1819.” Here Lamb and his sister Mary met the little orphan daughter of Charles Isola, one of the Esquire Bedells of the University. They were afterwards to adopt her.
