 wnspeople clothed the students\, as well as themselves\, and Cambridge was
  well supplied with tailors and outfitters. But the University authorities
  didn’t always approve of what the students wore in their attempts to ke
 ep up with fashion. There were many complaints and regulations. Dress indi
 cated status\, and Lord Byron’s gold-trimmed academic gown was very diff
 erent from Coleridge’s ‘half-left-off’ rag. Before you explore the h
 istoric buildings\, come see what the historic people – students and tow
 nspeople – were wearing\, and who provided it. Honor Ridout has been suc
 cessively student\, town employee\, University employee\, Blue-badge guide
  and an adult history tutor.\n
