Romsey Town and Five Parliamentary Heroes of the Civil War

Pym Court, Cambridge

This talk explores an unexpected pattern to the naming of buildings and streets near Cromwell Road, in Romsey Town.

Julian Jacobs studied History at Oxford, with a particular focus on the 17th Century. So this talk unites his love of history with his love of the Romsey community in which he has lived since 1982. Before retirement, Julian served as the Department Administrator at the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge.

We will also be including short contributions on the derivations of other street names in the Mill Road area. If you would like to speak for upto 5 minutes about your street then please email us.
