I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

They have shared their knowledge, their memories, pictures and publications. For nearly 35 years I was privileged to add these to the Cambridgeshire Collection at Cambridge Central Library, that wonderful resource established in 1855 with its books, pictures, maps, ephemera and newspaper files which is open to all. Since then I have continued to seek out Cambridgeshire information and have endeavoured to share my scant knowledge through books, talks and some 30 years of weekly and daily newspaper articles. Now I have published much of that information online for all to download and use.

  • A Roman Coin Hoard from Barway, South of Ely, Cambridgeshire
    SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES A ROMAN COIN HOARD FROM BARWAY, SOUTH OF ELY, CAMBRIDGESHIRE DAVID BARROWCLOUGH Introduction THE discovery of twelve denarii found individually between 1985 and 1991 at New Fordey Farm, Soham in Cambridgeshire (TL 543752) complements finds ofaurei and denarii at the same location reported in 1958, 1979, 1981 and 1984. The presence of associated pottery sherds, and progressively decreasing wear from oldest to youngest coin, identify this as a dis- turbed hoard of at least 451 coins (the total found to date) with a closing date of AD 180 in the reign of Commodus (AD 180–92). This paper describes the most recent finds and places them in the context of the earlier reports and what is known of Roman activity in the immediate vicinity, before considering possible reasons for their deposition. Discovery In the summer of 2011 a collection of twelve denarii (listed in the Appendix and illustrated in Figure 1) were reported to me by Mr Philip Randall. The coins had come into his possession following the death of his father Mr Stanley Randall. The Randalls had for several genera- tions farmed arable land to the east of the River Great Ouse at New Fordey Farm, Barway, in the parish of Soham in Cambridgeshire, which lies three miles south of Ely. In June 1958 a disturbed hoard of 369 coins, four aurei and 364 silver coins, was found following cultivation of a field that had not been ploughed for many years.
