  • The Orchards
    WELCOME TO THE ORCHARDS The Orchards lie close to the village centre of Great Abington; a picturesque village on the edge of Cambridge that boasts a primary school, village shop, a well-regarded public house, a cricket club and a village hall. The Orchards is within easy walking distance of all that the village has to offer whilst also giving you close proximity to the surrounding countryside, the vibrant city of Cambridge and excellent road connection to destinations further afield. The Orchards takes its name from the community orchard that we are creating for all to enjoy. To the front of the orchard is also a children’s play area. Comprising 45 new two, three, four and five bedroom homes, including a number of bungalows, The Orchards is designed to create homes for all that respect and enhance the local vernacular, using high quality of materials and a restrained colour pallet. As you wander around The Orchards you will find secluded courtyard areas, landscaped spaces and character homes with traditional features, along with views of big skies and open countryside. With the village’s friendly community for all ages, Great Abington is a fantastic location for those wanting the convenience of being less than ten miles from the cultural city of Cambridge and just a few miles from the M11 for connections further afield. Welcome to The Orchards - a perfect place to put down roots. 1 GREAT ABINGTON A friendly village with a proud history The pretty Saxon-named village of Great Abington is divided from its neighbouring village of Little Abington by the River Granta.

  • THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River
    Water Power in Essex—The river Granta or Cam THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse. The two rivers join to the south of Ely at Pope’s Corner. In earlier times the Cam was named the Granta, but after the name of the Anglo-Saxon town of Grantebrycge had been modified to Cambridge, the river was renamed to match. The two principal tributaries of the Cam are the Granta and the Rhee, though both are also officially known as the Cam. The Rhee begins just off the High Street (Ashwell Springs), Ashwell in Hertfordshire running north then east 12 miles (19 km) through the farmland of southern Cambridgeshire. The longer tributary, the Granta, starts near the village of Widdington in Essex flowing the 15 miles (24 km) north past Audley End House to merge with the Rhee a mile south of Grantchester. A further tributary, also known as the Granta, runs 10 miles (16 km) from south of Haverhill to join the larger Granta south of Great Shelford. Parish Index : 1. Elmdon 1. Debden 1. Newport 5.

    Cambridge Judge Business School 1 REACH Ely Case Study Series Reimagining Churches as Community Assets for the Common Good ST MARY THE VIRGIN LINTON Text, design, photography REACH Ely (Reimagining Churches as 2 Dr Timur Alexandrov Community Assets for the Common Good) Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation is a multi-partner research project that Cambridge Judge Business School aims to help communities make fuller use of their churches. Editorial board The project is implemented by Dr Helen Haugh Centre for Social Innovation at Cambridge Centre for Social Innovation Cambridge Judge Business School Cambridge Judge Business School and the Diocese of Ely Geoffrey Hunter with the generous support of Allchurches Trust Diocese of Ely and Historic England www.reachely.org The challenges facing church communities and their buildings have been extensively studied in the light of declining church attendance in the United Kingdom over several decades. REACH Ely aims to address the less-well-understood opportunities for churches to engage and reconnect with the 97.7 per cent of the local communities in the Diocese of Ely who do not attend their parish churches. With the absence of universal determinants of success and failure of churches in the community engagement context, the REACH Ely project will provide an understanding of the relationship between communities and wider use of church buildings as well as the contribution that churches make to the common good. The project will determine community values, needs and opportunities that can be used in the most effective way to ensure a win-win outcome for communities and sustainable future of church buildings.

  • CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY RAMBLING CLUB Lent Term 2014
    CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY RAMBLING CLUB Lent Term 2014 To new ramblers and returning members alike, welcome to the Rambling Club! We invite you to leave the city for a few hours this term to enjoy the surrounding countryside with us. The pace of our walks is generally easy, as our main aim is to relax and appreciate the local scenery and villages. We sometimes stop at a village pub en route, but you should bring a packed lunch (except for half-day rambles) and a bottle of water anyway. Strong boots, waterproofs, and warm clothing are also recommended. Your only expense is the bus or train fare (given below), plus our £1 annual membership fee. There is no need to sign up in advance to join any of this term’s walks — just turn up at the time and place given. Our meeting points (unless otherwise noted) are: Bus: at the entrance to Drummer Street bus station, near the taxi rank / public toilets. Train: in the main hall of the Cambridge Railway Station. For more information and photos of past events, check out our website at www.srcf.ucam.org/curac Saturday 18th January “While I was going to St Ives” St Ives Circular 7.5 miles / 12 Contact: David km We start in the old market town of St Ives, famous for its most infamous inhabitant, Oliver Cromwell, its medieval bridge complete with a chapel, and its cameo in a well known nursery rhyme. We leave on a lazy stroll along the Ouse Valley Way, passing through the picturesque villages of Houghton, Hemingford Abbots and Hemingford Grey, before finally returning through the lovely, pastoral Hemingford Meadow.
