Inside back cover Elizabethan Cambridge: George Braun’s plan of Cambridge dating from 1575 (top), and John Hammond’s drawing of 1592. Many of today’s familiar landmarks are already in place, and the main street system is more or less the same. Note on the Hammond drawing the different layout of the courts at Trinity and St John’s Colleges, and the Greyfriars’ precinct of the Franciscans, where Sidney Sussex College now lies.
