MELDRETH The village grew in Saxon times and was listed as Melrede in the Domesday Book. The village's name means "mill stream", named after the stream that rises at Melbourn Bury and flows north into the River Cam. Its proximity to Cambridge resulted in much of the land being owned by colleges of the University at one time or another. In the early 16th century, Christ's College moved to its Meldreth estate to escape the plague. The village still has stocks and a whipping post, the traditional medieval punishment, last used in the village in 1860. The parish church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, dates from the 12th Century onwards and its west tower houses a peal of eight bells. The village was once famous for its fruit production, is now home to many commuters who work in Cambridge and London. Orchards still exist in Meldreth, and locally‐grown fruits and vegetables are sold in the village, most notably the Meldreth greengage. One public house is still open; The British Queen opened its doors in the first half of the 19th century. The prime meridian runs through the village. A stone marker was erected near the western end of Fenny Lane, and unveiled in December 1999 by the Astronomer Royal, Sir Martin Rees.
