About this audio guide
This audio guide to Trinity Hall in Cambridge starts with a college founded in the wake of the Black Death, then turns to the riverside Fellows' Garden beside it. You'll meet Bishop William Bateman, the eighteenth-century gardeners who set out hedges, lead statues and a row of horse chestnuts, and the novelist Henry James on his visit in eighteen seventy-eight. Best heard on Trinity Lane, facing the college walls that hide the garden.
