Comments:
The sign is in the house where, starting in 1521, a group of intellectuals from Cambridge University gathered to discuss and argue with Martin Luther about the principles of Protestant Christianity. The group was called "Little Germany" because of Luther’s German ancestry.
The building was demolished in 1870

The building on which the sign is located was photographed that day Click for a larger image
