Today I learned that the following fences etc. are Grade I listed in Cambridge, separately from their relevant buildings:

The railings and gates to Trinity Hall Lane of Clare College
The gateway on the west side of Clare Bridge (and the railings and gates to the college garden)
The fence on the street outside the main frontage of the Fitzwilliam Museum
The Garden walls, railings and gates of Number 16 Jesus Lane (Little Trinity)
The entrance screen to First Court, Peterhouse
The railings, piers, gateway and screen wall on the east side of Principal Court, St Catherine's College
The railings and gates surrounding the Senate House

...that's a lot of listed (but hopefully not listing) fences! Specifically, about 1 in 1000 of all the Grade I Listed Buildings in England are fences in Cambridge...

On Christmas Eve, I was in All Saints' Church, Godshill (and I have to keep mentally correcting myself — it's "God's hill", not "God shill"!). I was agreeing with people that it's a very lovely building, but I seem to be spoiled for Grade I listings after Cambridge, that may not have impressed me as much as they'd expected…

If only the carol service had been as fine as the architecture. /-8

I seem to remember one of the stone urns fell off its column at Little Trinity not very long ago. I didn't realise at the time that this was an event of such cultural significance!

That is a brilliant statistic and I thank you for it.
