Little Saint Mary’s Church which is between the Fitzwilliam Museum and Peterhouse College. Inside is a plaque commemorating a former vicar of the church, Godfrey Washington of York (1670-1729) who, was possibly the great uncle of George Washington.

It is apparently the family crest of the Washington family, Is this the origin of the American flag? Seee photo
Another location near Cambridge is The American War Cemetary at Madingley. It lies on a slope with the west and south sides framed by woodland. The cemetery contains the remains of 3,811 of our war dead; 5,127 names are recorded on the Walls of the Missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. Most died in the Battle of the Atlantic or in the strategic air bombardment of northwest Europe. See the link www.abmc.gov/Cambridge
While in Cambridge why not visit the Cambridge Football Rules monument.In 1848 a group of University students agreed on a single set of rules by which to play football on Parker’s Piece.
These 11 rules were the first rules for football in the modern era. They were almost entirely adopted by the Football Association when drafting the FA rules in 1863. You could say that Parker’s Piece itself is the birthplace of football as we know it.
