Cambridge No. 18 / Grentebrige

There are five entries for Cambridge [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL4458/cambridge/] [accessed 29 March 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Cambridge..., vol. 3, 1959) notes: "The church of St. John Baptist, commonly called St. John Zachary, is first mentioned in the taxation of 1217. It stood on the west side of Milne Street [...] Besides being the parish church it served as a chapel for the scholars of Clare Hall and of Trinity Hall. [...] The church was probably destroyed soon after 25 July 1446, when the first stone of King's College Chapel was laid. [...] By 1453 it had been rebuilt at the charges of Henry VI at the north-west corner of the Old Court of King's College [...] This second edifice is last mentioned in 1488–9; it was presumably allowed to fall into decay [...] its site was used for King's College buildings"; no font mentioned in the VCH entry.
