Has the relentless modern life ever prompted you to try to get away from it all by becoming a hermit? Stuck in a rush hour queue on the A1 on the section from the St. Neots turn to Little Paxton over the Hail Weston Brook bridge might provoke thoughts of renouncing the daily grind for a life of spiritual contemplation. and there came John son of Richard Herbert This is hardly an area for a potential modern of Gamlingay, and Eloise of Abbotsley John’s hermit to contemplate peace and quiet yet a concubine, and William son of Nicholas Precher Deed from around 1220 refers to a Hermitage of Huntingdon clerk, and Edith sister of the said on the land of the Manor of Sudbury at Eaton William; and they assaulted the said Margery, Ford. A conjectural map of this area c1220 was Margaret and John son of Thomas and tried published in the newsletter of the St. Neots to rob them. At length the hue was raised and History Society (06 /1984) by Rosa Young. It pursued to the town of Sudbury. The said felons shows the Hermitage and a Leper Hospital to the then fled to the bridge. William the shepherd of left of the northbound A1. Back in 1265 the local Sir William de Sudbury came there in answer to hermit’s peace was disturbed by a dastardly deed the hue, and on that bridge the said John, Richard on his doorstep. The medieval scribes record Herbert’s son, struck William the shepherd with a that:- “Margery, wife of Thomas of Beachamstead, sword on the right side of his head and cut away Margaret her sister, and John, son of the aforesaid a part of his head with the brains and the right Thomas were on their way from the market at ear, so that he died forthwith on the said bridge. St Neots to the Lepers’ Hospital at Sudbury; The township of Sudbury came with the hue and arrested John the felon, Eloise, and Edith William Preacher’s sister; and William, Nicholas Preacher’s son, fled to Diddington church in the county of Huntingdon.” You can find comparative peace in the Sudbury Meadows community garden tucked away opposite the friendly Barley Mow pub. A check on their site will update you on their 2017 programme of work. You can always volunteer as an antidote to modern life! St. Neots Museum has the former police cells as part of its display. You might like to practice being a hermit enclosed in their small cell! By Peter Ibbett 4 Please mention The Villager and Town Life when responding to adverts Reg Charity No 307534 2017 AIRSHOWS

  • East of England Regional Landscape Framework
    East of England Regional Landscape Framework Urban Landscape Typology Final Report Alison Farmer Associates December 2009 1 East of England Regional Urban Landscape 1.0 Method statement Aim: The aim of developing a regional urban landscape typology for the East of England is to articulate the broad variety of towns/cities found within the region and the character of the landscape within the urban fabric of each settlement. The purpose of the exercise is to provide an overview of landscape character in settlements which can be used as a starting point to informing future assessments such as Green Infrastructure (GI) strategies and decision making on growth, both in terms of the extension to existing settlements as well as the creation of new settlements. It should be noted that the scope of this work is limited and that the typology descriptions which have been developed are succinct and brief and do not replace the need for more detailed townscape assessment. Importantly this work has focused principally on the landscape character of settlements however it is openly acknowledged that these settlements have an important built character and that the combination of built and landscape elements leads to an overall understanding of a settlement’s sense of place. Approach: A total of 28 settlements were initially identified for study. These were first selected based on the urban areas identified when mapping LDUs for the regional landscape framework. These settlements were then cross referenced with the RSS and any further settlements which were missed, and likely to experience change, were also identified for study.

Many of you will have seen coverage in the press over the last few months regarding the introduction of a charging regime for vehicles using the sites. Park and Ride is important for many people in getting to Cambridge City centre. Whilst County Councillors, when making the decision, made it clear they would prefer to keep the sites free, given the financial challenges facing the Council and the fact that the sites cost £1m a year to run, they felt this is the right way forward. Use of Park and Ride still compares very favourably with parking in Cambridge itself and it will remain that way.
