Adjacent Parishes of Haddenham, Wilburton, Stretham, St. Mary's, Ely, ·Witch· Ford, Wentworth, and Thetford, Have a Right of Common on the Remainder

HADDENHAM: PARISH. 499 adjacent parishes of Haddenham, Wilburton, Stretham, St. Mary's, Ely, ·witch· ford, Wentworth, and Thetford, have a right of common on the remainder. HADDENHAM: PARISH. The boundaries of this extensive parish are formed principally by the river Ouse, Ol" the Old west river, which divides the isle from Cambridgeshire on the south, Huntingdonshire on the west, Sutton and Wentworth on the north, and Wilbur ton and Grunty fen on the east. It contains 9,530 acres; its population in 1801, was 1090; in 1831, 1929: and in 1841, 2103 souls, including 143 persons attending the village feast. The amount of assessed property is£ 13,236. 'J.'he parish is divided into two districts, Haddenham-end and Linden-end, and it has two hamlets, Hill·row and Aldreth. The land consisting of field and fen, is of a very superior quality, and the principal proprietors of the soil are, the Earl of Hardwicke, Richard Brown, "Esq., and vVilliam Martin, Esq. Manors. The principal manor, in ancient times was that of Linden, wl1ich with its appendages of Haddenhnm and Hill, was purchased for the abbot and convent of Ely, by Ethelwold, bishop of Winchester, and abbot Brithnoth. At tl1e distribution of the manors between the bishop nud monks, when the convent was raised to the dignity of a cathedral, (see page 447) this manor was assigned to the bishop, and continued attached to the see till alienated by bishop Helon, in 1600. In 1632 it belonged to the earl of Suffolk, and it was afterwards in the family of March, who had been possessed of another manor here, called Graies, as early as the year 1614. By tl1e marriage of one of their descendants, with the heiress of the Rowlands, they became possessed also of the manor of Hinton, in thi!l parish, and the three manors passed by indenture of bargain and sale in 1766, to the Earl of Hardwicke, with whose descendant (the p1·esent earl) it still continues. A small manor here called.Chewell's, was given by bishop Montacute in 1344; to St. Peter's college, Cambridge, under which it is now held on lea10e. The Mano1' House was built in the reign of Queen Elizabeth by Mr_ Wren, and acquired the name of the Wren'$ nest: it was the seat of sev.eral of its suc cessive owners, but has been pulled down many years, excepting the pol'cb in which the courts for the manor are opened. Tke Village of Haddenltam, wl1ich is large nnd interesting, is seated on an emi nence about 6 miles S.W. from Ely,nnd 15 N.from Cambridge. When the40knights who had been lodged in the abbey of Ely with the monks, by order of William tle Conqueror, (both to observe the motions of the people of the Isle of Ely, a place at that time much averse to his government, and also at the same time to provide for 40 of his Norman followers, without charge to himself,) were sent for at the end of five years to return to Normandy, against Robert, the son ofthe Conqueror, who .

Oosthuizen, MSR, DB Fenland, 30 Jan 2015
RE-EVALUATING MAPS OF DOMESDAY POPULATION DENSITIES: A case study from the Cambridgeshire fenland By SUSAN OOSTHUIZEN Abstract Professor Sir Clifford Darby’s county, regional and national maps of a range of data drawn from the Domesday Book revolutionized scholarship on the social and economic history of late Anglo-Saxon England (e.g. 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1971, 1977). While this paper does not seek to challenge Darby’s general conclusions, a case study re-examination of the inter-relationship between population density and physical geography in the Cambridgeshire fenland in 1086 suggests the regional usefulness of methodological adjustments to his mapping. It indicates that the population density of the peat and silt fens in the late eleventh century may have been significantly higher than that shown in Darby’s original maps, with implications for the contemporary social and economic history of eastern England. Introduction The magnificence of many fenland churches allows even a complete stranger to infer the large numbers of inhabitants in and general prosperity of the region during the middle ages (Illustration 1, Figure 1). Its affluence is confirmed in the lay subsidies of 1327, 1332 and 1334. Settlements on the silt fens (for which there is the most information) were so prosperous that they generated among the highest returns per square mile and per vill in England, as well as some of the highest rates per taxpayer (Campbell and Bartley 2006: Maps 18.3, 18.13). Although only 20% of English settlements paid more than £225 in 1334, that select group includes not only Ely (paying £358), Leverington (paying £360), and Wisbech (paying £410) but almost every other silt fen vill (Glasscock 1973: 181-3; 1975: 28, 107, 168-9).

I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance.

Witches and Witchcraft in Ely
Witches and Witchcraft in Ely A HISTORY Francis Young Printed for the author by Cambridge Print Solutions Cambridge, 2013 Published by Francis Young © Francis Young 2013 Francis Young has asserted his moral right under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, to be identified as the author of this work. francisyoung.wordpress.com ISBN 978-0-9926404-0-8 Table of Contents Introduction 1 1. Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

Tokens Found in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, and a Seventeenth-Century Issuer
TOKENS FOUND IN HADDENHAM, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, AND A SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ISSUER M.J. BONSER AND R.H. THOMPSON, with contributions by C.F. BESTER THE Revd. William Cole, the Cambridge antiquary (1714-82), owned extensive property in Haddenham in the south-west of the Isle of Ely, and two tokens found there are illustrated and described in vol. 32 of his manuscript collections.1 A. Garden of William Symonds, -1768. The first 'was dug up in a Garden belonging to me at Hadenham in the Isle of Ely, & given to me by my Tenant Wm Symonds in January 1768'. The second was 'found at Hadenham & given me as above 1768'. The wording in both cases leaves the date of finding open to doubt, but if not actually in 1768 it was presumably not long before. Cole's father had purchased several hundred acres including five tenements, to which the antiquary himself added two closes;- and the location of William Symonds's garden must remain uncertain, although it was probably in the hamlet of Aldreth, adjoinjng Ewell Fen in which Cole's farm Frog Hall was situated (a farmhouse and several cottages in Aldreth were associated with Frog Hall Farm until about 1944). 1. Nuremberg Rechenmeister jetton or Schulpfennig; second half of the sixteenth century. Similar to No. 20 below, but alphabet with G reversed and no additional letters; not illustrated. 2. Seventeenth-century token; c. 1660. Obv. IAMES PARTRICH OF around a mitre; surname appears as 'RICH'. Rev. ROOYSTON VINTNER around letter P above IC. Williamson,3 Hertfordshire 165 or 166; probably 165, on which a flaw developed across the first part of the surname; not illustrated.

Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council
Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council East Cambridgeshire - Conservative Party Response from South East Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (SECCA) Summary 1. We believe that single Member Divisions provide for the most effective local government in East Cambridgeshire, giving greater clarity to the electorate and to City, Town and Parish Councils and other local organisations. 2. Our preferred scenario (scenario 1) is based on 63 Members, meaning that 9 will be in East Cambridgeshire. This proposed scenario allows for provision of single Member Divisions, achieves good electoral equality, provides for convenient and effective local government and offers the best solution, by some margin, in terms of reflecting community interests and identity. 2.1. We strongly believe that the Boundary Commission’s proposal for two 2 Member Divisions (within the 61 Member scenario) has made serious compromises to both community interests and identity and to convenient and effective local government, markedly so for the proposed Littleport West Division (Division 16). The geographical size and marked difference in service needs of different parts of this Division could cause conflict in Members’ ability to represent the whole of the Division effectively. 2.2. Sutton, and particularly the villages to the south of Sutton (Wentworth, Witchford, Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton, Stretham and Little Thetford) are totally remote from Littleport - geographically (residents of those areas look to Ely and Cambridge and do not use or travel to Littleport), culturally (residents of those areas do not link themselves in any way to Littleport), demographically and in terms of service need (educational, economic and health and wellbeing needs are markedly different).
