Stand in the paved area where Trinity Street meets King’s Parade, and you are in the centre of Cambridge. Since the 18th century, all road distances from the city have been measured from the West Door of Great St Mary’s, the university church. To the west is an immaculate lawn with the Old Schools (the university administration offices) and the baroque Senate House, completed in 1730. The Senate House is the ceremonial centre of the university: inside degrees are conferred and important decisions put to ballot. The Senate is the collective name for all those awarded an MA or higher. In practice, it never meets, and decisions are made by a group of senior scholars called the Regent House (but don’t look for this, as it doesn’t exist!).
