About this audio guide
This guide to Christ's College in Cambridge follows one tree at the far end of the Fellows' Garden, and a seventeenth-century king who wanted England to rival France and Italy in silk. It touches a storm in the seventeen nineties, the gardeners who still tend what it left behind, and the student poet John Milton, whose name the tree still carries. Stand by the wooden posts near the old bathing pool to listen.
