The book highlights the long standing battle for the power to run Cambridge. For centuries the Gown won that fight. There is so much more to the story.

When Dr Philip Howell gave his talk on the Spinning House prison for women, I asked if the University had apologised. adragonsbestfriend.wordpress.com/2017/01/12/h... Note at the time the proctors were also Anglican clerics in holy orders 👀
