In search of the sixteen

Over the last few years I've done a lot of work on Wikipedia on the 16 Cantabularian Colleges founded before 1596, so I wanted to see as many of them as I could in the time it would take my mother and sister to go round the latest exhibition at the Fitzwilliam. When eventually they had finished they rang. "Where are you?" they asked.
I looked up. "Downing Street."
"Crikey, you've walked a long way!"
(Fun fact: there are 19 Downing Streets in the UK)

Pembroke College, Cambridge
