CAMBRIDGE AND KING'S

[N.B. These are personal, unedited, reflections, filmed on one afternoon on 8th August 2006. Consequently there are some mistakes. King's was founded in 1441, not 1446; Keats, not Shelley, wrote 'Ode on a Grecian Urn'; Lowes Dickinson, not Rylands, invited Xu Zhimo to King's College.]
