Synopsis
Excerpt from A Guide Through the University of Cambridge<br/><br/>St. Mary Magdalen College, which has been converted into a fine terrace for the exercise of its Fellows. This town was divided into four parts, by two streets crossing each other at right angles. The principal street from S. E. To N. W. Being continued from the foot of Gog magog hills, passed the Cam b a ford (now the great bridge), and continued through t is place in a straight line to Godmanchester, another station of the Romans; and that which crossed it was another road which passed through the city from s.w. To n.e. Towards Ely. The forum seems to have been on the s.w. Side of the city, being a large square, proper for the purpose, near the S. W. Gate. Though numerous fragments of urns, Roman coins of Vespasian and later emperors, various implements of sacrifice, and other antiquities, have been found in the neighbourhood, there are but little remains of Roman work, except the entrenchments before mentioned. How ever there are not wanting some proofs of Roman build ings having been on this spot; for the curious in antiqui ties may find in the ruins of St. Peter's Church, which stands within the south angle of the Roman fortification, many Roman bricks worked into the wall on each side of the north door: and it may be observed that this door is inches wide, being exactly three Roman feet. These bricks were most probably taken from the remains of some. Roman building; nor is it improbable that the church stands on the very foundation of a Roman temple f. Another church stood formerly within the bounds of the Roman town, but is now entirely destroyed.
