We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why East Cambridgeshire? We are conducting an electoral review of East Cambridgeshire District Council following a request by the Council in order to consider a reduction in council size. Our proposals for East Cambridgeshire East Cambridgeshire District Council currently has 39 councillors. Based on the evidence we received during previous phases of the review, we consider that a council size of 28 members – a reduction of 11 – will ensure that the Council can perform its roles and responsibilities effectively.

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).

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).

Emma Day Dissertation Final Draft

SOKEMEN AND FREEMEN IN LATE ANGLO-SAXON EAST ANGLIA IN COMPARATIVE CONTEXT Emma Day Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge 12th January 2011 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Summary of Dissertation Sokemen and Freemen in Late Anglo-Saxon East Anglia in Comparative Context Emma Day The dissertation is an investigation into sokemen and freemen, a group of higher status peasants, in tenth- and eleventh-century East Anglia (hereafter and throughout the dissertation referred to as less dependent tenants). The study considers four themes. The first concerns the socio-economic condition of less dependent tenants. Previous commentators have focused on, for example, light or non-existent labour services and a connection with royal service and public obligations, but the reality may have been more complex. The second theme considers the distribution of the group across East Anglia. The third and fourth themes consider, respectively, the reliability of the Domesday evidence for less dependent tenants and how far the eastern counties differed from the rest of England. It has been argued that the significant number of less dependent tenants recorded in the eastern counties in Domesday Book indicates that region’s unique social structure. This view increasingly has been questioned. The dissertation uses a partially retrogressive approach, combining pre-Conquest sources with Domesday Book and manorial sources from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It argues that less dependent tenants formed a varied group, including both smallholders (probably constituting the greater part of the group) and prosperous landholders defined by high-status service. These individuals were not always clearly distinguished from those immediately above and below them in the hierarchy.
The Ouse Washes

NRA Anglii j i t - u THE OUSE WASHES “The Ouse Washes offer a rich variety of experiences both as an internationally important wildlife site and its continuing role of protecting the fens from flooding. ” O wildlife RSPB NRA National Rivers Authority Anglian Region THE ANGLIAN REGION The Anglian Region hosts a rich variety of wildlife habitats, flora and landscapes associated with its streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coastal waters. Many of these are protected by statutory designations, for example, 75% of the coastline is covered by a conservation and/or landscape designation. Five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty fall either partially or wholly within Anglian Region, along with England's newest National Park - the Broads. A fifth of England and Wales internationally important wetlands, from large estuaries such as the Humber and the Wash, to Ouse Washes in flood washlands such as the Ouse Washes, occur within this region. THE OUSE WASHES - FLOOD DEFENCE IMPORTANCE The Middle and South Level Barrier Banks contain Bedford Ouse flood flows within the Ouse Washes and are therefore vital for the flood protection of the Cambridgeshire Fens. Complete towns, villages and isolated dwellings, Flood waters are able to flow throigh \ together with approximately 29,000 the Hundred Foot River when pean " hectatres of agricultural land are protected from flooding by the Ouse When the peak flood has passed, i Washes Defences. Washes and back into the Old Failure of the South Level Barrier Bank would cause over 230 residential properties to be flooded to depths of up to 1.8m. As much as 11,000 hectares of Flooded washland and ditches agricultural land would be flooded.
The Wilkin's of Haddenham, Isle of Ely,Cambs, from the 1600'S to the Present Day

The Wilkin's of Haddenham, Isle of Ely,Cambs, from the 1600's to the present day by Martin John Wilkin 2009 Updated from original "Ancestry of the Wilkin's" in 1999 Table of Contents Text Item ...................................................................................2 Register Report of Martin Wilkin................................................8 Outline Descendant Tree of Martin Wilkin ...............................59 Index .......................................................................................75 1 The Wilkin's of Haddenham Introduction In 1999, I distributed three volumes of ancestral material to about thirty people relative to the ancestors of the Sharpe, Crosley, Taylor and Wilkin families .Over the last couple of years I have realized that I did not give my eight grandchildren any substantial information relative to their background and now hope it is included . In this production I am indicating some of the major details of their Ancestry. Doreen Margaret Sharpe, my wife, is a descendent of King Henry 111rd and has been noted in the "Royalty" records for many years In DEBRETT'S Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companion age dated about 1900 there is a page entitled " The Descent of WILLIAM CLOUGH ESQ of Clifton House and New bald Hall , Yorkshire J.P. from the Blood Royal of England" From it one can conclude that royalty descendent William Cumberland married Elizabeth Pym Burt. Their daughter Rosina Cumberland married John Clough and they had a daughter Emma Clough who married William Gordon Lynch Cotton. One of the children of Emma Clough and William Gordon Lynch Cotton was named Ella Blanch Cotton and she married Herbert Charles Crosley ( Grandson of Sir Henry Crosley ) and they were the Grandparents of Doreen Margaret Sharpe.
