Last Sunday signalled the start of the third series of hit ITV show ‘Grantchester’. But what do we really know about the village that has become the stomping ground of a ‘crime-fighting’ vicar, played by James Norton, and a war veteran turned police detective in Robson Green?
Well, Grantchester which lies just a mile
outside the city of Cambridge plays host to a number of famous pastimes which
adds to its quintessential Englishness. These include the Boxing day-barrel
race that brings all the local pubs together for a tradition that dates back to
the 1960’s.
