About me
I'm Fonz Chamberlain, historian, broadcaster, and writer with a lifelong passion for the rich history of Cambridge.
Born on Mill Road and raised in and around the city, I’ve spent my life exploring Cambridge’s past, sharing its stories through radio, television, articles, talks, and guided walks. My work has appeared in a wide range of newspapers and magazines, and I’ve had the privilege of speaking to audiences in schools, libraries, community groups, and across the airwaves.
In recent years, I launched Cambridge Historian Live, an online history programme that reached over 20,000 viewers worldwide in its first series. It’s been a wonderful way to connect people from all walks of life with the city’s remarkable heritage.
Whether you're a lifelong resident or a curious visitor, I hope this website helps you discover something new, and inspires you to look a little closer at the streets, buildings, and stories that make Cambridge such a fascinating place.
