Cambridge was involved in shaping the British sporting revolution that went global in the second half of the 19th century, beyond just creating the modern-day laws of football and boxing, and sporting philosophies such as Muscular Christianity. This 4-week course will walk across Cambridge visiting key sites to explore the individuals and sports that made up this revolution and the challenges they faced, such as the tensions between Town v Gown. Whilst Frank Fenner, a local tobacconist, and talented sportsman was initially able to bring Town and Gown together to play in the same teams, he later became a casualty of the revolution he helped to create. The course will follow the walking route outlined in Cambridge Sport: in Fenner’s Hands written by Nigel Fenner. As each session involves a walk of 1 to 1.5 miles, participants will need to wear suitable clothing (dependent on the weather).
