About this audio guide
This guide to Downing College in Cambridge stands at the open end of its vast court, where a fourth side was planned and never built. It follows a royal visit to a Victorian flower show, and the early college cricketers who spent years borrowing other people's grass. Best heard facing south toward the Paddock, with the church spire beyond the trees.
