The core of the village is designated as a Conservation Area with a particularly attractive area around the church. The main features of the village are shown on Map 8.47. Wilburton has a range of facilities including two shops, a public house, a village hall and social club, a primary school and St Peter’s Church.

  • 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).

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.

    Mike Petty – Ely Standard 1914-1919 index Ely Standard Great War articles 1914-1918: an index, compiled by Mike Petty The Ely Standard articles give a detailed account of various aspects of local life during the Great War. It reports letters back from the front, lists casualties, mentions of Zeppelin raids, aircraft, conscientious objectors, German prisoners of war and local military hospitals. The paper also reports the heartbreak of Exemption Tribunal meetings where farmers plea to be allowed to keep workers on the land – these are particularly interesting, mentioning many names, and should be checked This index covers stories relating to the war and its impact on the villages around Ely including Adelaide, Coveney, Downham, Haddenham, Littleport, Manea, Mepal, Oxlode, Prickwillow, Pymore, Soham, Stretham, Stuntney, Thetford, Wentworth, Wicken, Witcham & Witchford. Some Chatteris and March stories are also mentioned. It does not cover many other aspects of ‘normal’ life that the paper reported These notes are not complete and there are inevitably mistakes. Please tell me those you notice. There are files of the Ely Standard on microfilm at Ely Library and in the Cambridgeshire Collection in Cambridge Central Library, who also hold the original volumes.
