Bene't Street is a short but historic street in central Cambridge, England,〔(Bene't Street ), Cambridge City Council〕 the name being derived from St Benedict. There is a junction with King's Parade to the north and Trumpington Street to the south at the western end of the street. Free School Lane leads off to the south. To the east, the street continues as Wheeler Street. ==History== The street is named after St Bene't's Church.〔(St Bene't's Church website ).〕 Bene't is a contraction of Benedict, hence the unusual apostrophe in the name. The Anglo-Saxon tower of St Bene't's, built sometime between 1000–1050AD, is the oldest standing building in Cambridgeshire.〔(Cambridge St Bene't ), (Cambridgeshire Churches ).〕〔(The city of Cambridge: Churches ), ''A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 3: The City and University of Cambridge'' (1959), pp. 123-132〕 The Eagle pub is on the north side of the street.〔(Bene't Street: The Eagle pub ), (Cambridge 2000 ).〕 In this pub, Francis Crick interrupted lunchtime patrons on 28 February 1953 to announce that he and James Watson had discovered the structure of DNA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Secret of life' discovery turns 50 )〕〔Ed Regis, ''What Is Life?: Investigating the Nature of Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology'', Oxford University Press, 2009, ISBN 0-19-538341-9, p.52〕 There is a blue plaque on the outside wall of the pub to commemorate the event.
