You could be arrested, imprisoned & killed, simply for your beliefs. Christians had to meet in Horseheath 1100 Family Eucharist GR secret – but what if a stranger came? How could you tell if they were Christian or not? Who could you trust? March 2– Sunday before Lent To recognise one another, Christians used secret signs. One of these was the sign of the fish Castle Camps 1000 Holy Eucharist GR that could easily be scratched on a wall or drawn in the dust of the road. If the other person wasn’t a Christian they’d just think someone had been doodling. Weekly on Wednesdays The fish was used as a sign because, in Greek, the first letters of the words “Jesus Christ, Holy Eucharist 0930 GR God’s Son, Saviour” spell the Greek word for fish - ichthus. All Saints’, Castle Camps Today, real Christians are still difficult to recognise.

    THE DEVIL'S DYKE, NEWMARKET. {READ Arm 13, 1850.] NEWMARKETandits neighbourhood possessed, till within a few years, numerous evidencesof the warlike races which antiently occupied our Island ; but many of the tumuli which studded the country, with fragments of trackways and embankments, have been cleared away, without, it is much to be regretted, even a note of their contents, form, or precise locality. Most remarkable earthworks, however, extending from the woody uplands on one side to the wide expanse of fen on the other, remain to attest the presence and the labours of contending races Camden enumerates five almost parallel dykes or ditches. The first, called Brent Ditch, between Melbourne and Foulmire ; the second about 5 miles long, running from Hinxton, by Hildersham, to Horseheath ; the third,.called Fleam (Flight) Dyke, or from the length of its course, Seven Mile Dyke, from Balsham to Fen Ditton ; the fourth, the greatest and most entire, popularly called the Devil's Dyke, from Woodditton to Reach, a distance of 7 or 8 miles ; and a fifth, the least of all, " shewethe itselfe two miles from hence, betweene Snailwell and Moulton." The courses of the four first of these ditches are shewn on Lysons's map of Cambridge- shire. Brent or Brant Ditch, says that author, is a slight work of the kind, proceeding from Heydon, in Essex, *pointing nearly to Barrington, continuing over part of . Foulmire, till it ends in a piece of boggy ground. The. "Secondditch is seen about a mile south of Bournbridge, lying upon declining ground between Abingdon Wood and Pampisworth, pointing towards Cambridge.

  • A Sense of Place Horseheath | Cambridge I Use the House As a Holiday Home, So Everything Is Immaculate and Has Hardly Been Used
    A Sense Of Place Horseheath | Cambridge I use the house as a holiday home, so everything is immaculate and has hardly been used. I’ve had the whole place painted in Farrow and Ball and just before lock down, I had a new patio put down and re-turfed the lawn. It’s just waiting for someone to come and put their stamp on it. The house would certainly suit a family, and it’s got so much flexibility and potential.” A Sense Of Place Village Life On the south eastern tip of Cambridgeshire, into a much larger space with plenty of close to the Suffolk and Essex borders, sits storage. Light streams in, emphasising the Horseheath, a pretty village with excellent pale wooden floors and sleek, elegant lines transport links. Situated between Linton of the house. To the right, there is a large and Haverhill, and just half an hour’s drive sitting room with an open fire and French from Cambridge, it’s a friendly community doors opening out on to the patio. To the with a beautiful six-hundred-year-old left of the hallway there is a study with a church (mentioned in Pevsner), a pub with useful cloakroom next door. A large utility restaurant, bar and rooms, a post office and room with access to the back garden is next a thriving village hall. The play park has to the fabulous open plan kitchen. With a recently been refurbished, there are large space for a large range cooker, underfloor playing fields, a cricket club and a number of heating, beautiful views out over the garden allotments.
