About Us

The Cambridge Ghost Company, a most particular establishment housed within the ancient timber frame of The Rutland Arms (est. 1550), exists for one singular and rather peculiar purpose: to assist in the onward travel arrangements of the many souls who have, over nearly five centuries, found themselves lingering within these historic walls.

From medieval merchants to Victorian scholars, from river traders to fortune tellers, countless visitors have passed through this venerable inn's doors - some, it seems, never quite managing to leave. These souls, both distinguished and humble, have become as much a part of the building as its ancient beams and weathered stones. Learn about this place...

Through careful study and delicate craftsmanship, we have perfected the art of creating individual ceramic vessels - each one handmade with exacting care - that provide these spirits with safe passage and comfortable accommodation. Our ghosts, as we affectionately call these vessels, are crafted in pleasing shapes and striking colours, each one designed to complement the particular character of its ethereal inhabitant. They are The Cambridge Ghost.®

We pride ourselves on being not merely a shop, but rather a unique waystation for souls seeking their next great adventure. Whether you're drawn to the stories of Cambridge's scholarly past, its bustling river trade, or its mysterious folklore, you'll find that each of our ghosts carries with it a piece of this ancient city's rich and varied history.
