Grantchester
Grantchester
is gradually being overtaken by the expanding boundaries of Cambridge, but the
village retains enough of its original charm and character to provide an enjoyable
visit. Thatched cottages share pride of place with Rupert Brooke's vicarage. The
poet was a resident at the vicarage while he attended King's College, Cambridge.
A
memorial to Brooke stands in the churchyard of St. Andrew and St. Mary's. Brooke's
body does not lie beneath the memorial, but on the Isle of Skyros, in Greece.
Though his
most famous poem is 'The Soldier', Brooke's also wrote 'The Old Vicarage, Grantchester',
a satyrical piece poking gentle fun at village life.
The
church itself is notable for its Decorated chancel, a wonderful example of that
style.
