WELCOME TO THE ORCHARDS The Orchards lie close to the village centre of Great Abington; a picturesque village on the edge of Cambridge that boasts a primary school, village shop, a well-regarded public house, a cricket club and a village hall. The Orchards is within easy walking distance of all that the village has to offer whilst also giving you close proximity to the surrounding countryside, the vibrant city of Cambridge and excellent road connection to destinations further afield. The Orchards takes its name from the community orchard that we are creating for all to enjoy. To the front of the orchard is also a children’s play area. Comprising 45 new two, three, four and five bedroom homes, including a number of bungalows, The Orchards is designed to create homes for all that respect and enhance the local vernacular, using high quality of materials and a restrained colour pallet. As you wander around The Orchards you will find secluded courtyard areas, landscaped spaces and character homes with traditional features, along with views of big skies and open countryside. With the village’s friendly community for all ages, Great Abington is a fantastic location for those wanting the convenience of being less than ten miles from the cultural city of Cambridge and just a few miles from the M11 for connections further afield. Welcome to The Orchards - a perfect place to put down roots. 1 GREAT ABINGTON A friendly village with a proud history The pretty Saxon-named village of Great Abington is divided from its neighbouring village of Little Abington by the River Granta. Its hedgerowed lanes take you past listed buildings and picturesque thatched cottages, a 16th century inn, a primary school, a village shop, numerous local businesses and views of beautiful open countryside. Great Abington is home to a friendly, welcoming community which regularly hosts events at its village hall – The Abington Institute. There is football for all ages and the Great Abington Cricket Team recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. The Three Tuns is a charming 16th century free house offering authentic Thai food made from scratch by its specialist chef using local produce. Great Abington Primary School’s latest Ofsted report is rated ‘good’ with a strong focus on academic achievement and a friendly, community approach. Great Abington Primary feeds into Linton Village College which achieved an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating and has a fantastic reputation. Granta School is based in Linton and achieved a ‘good’ Ofsted rating in its most recent inspection while there are also numerous faith and independent schools in the local area, plus of course the University colleges in Cambridge for further education. With Cambridge on your doorstep for shopping and days out, and the M11 just a short drive away, Great Abington attracts those looking for a more peaceful pace of life, a sense of space and somewhere to put down roots, whilst still benefitting from being closely connected to thriving cities for work or play. Images left to right: Abington Cricket Club, St Mary’s Church, Great Abington Village, Three Tuns Free House 2 3 conVENIENTLY connected For work and play Less than 10 miles from your doorstep is the beautiful, world-famous city of Cambridge. Here you will find major department stores, independent and boutique shops and an open-air market. For evenings out, Cambridge provides places to eat for all the family, from national pizza chains to Michelin-starred restaurants - as well as cinemas, theatres, bars and live music. By day Cambridge offers a wide range of events, world-famous universities and the perfect place to while away a couple of hours window-shopping and enjoying the wonderful architecture and diverse cultural atmosphere. Newmarket Racecourse can be reached in 20 minutes from The Orchards, while nearby attractions such as Duxford Imperial War Museum, Linton Zoo, Audley End House and Chilford Hall Vineyard are within easy reach and will appeal to all ages. When it comes to work rather than play, like its neighbouring towns and villages, Great Abington is home to many thriving local businesses – most famously The Welding Institute, now a worldwide organisation located at Granta Park, just over a mile from The Orchards. Established 20 years ago and known globally for its pioneering scientific successes, Granta Park attracts international employers such as MedImmune, Illumina, Pfizer, and PPD. Thousands of local and global businesses are located in Cambridge itself, along with many large, public sector employers.

Sergeant Baker's comic strip in the service magazine Yank, published on Sundays price 3d, depicted the Sack's confrontations with the perils and perplexities of wartime service life. In all his dealings - with fellow soldiers, top brass, foreign nationals, prostitutes and the rest of the world in general - the little private always came off second best. But he remained the Army's hero, a trusting soul whose own little world of dreamy optimism was constantly devastated by unforeseen disaster.

  • THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River

    THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River

    Water Power in Essex—The river Granta or Cam THE RIVER CAM OR GRANTA & Bourne River The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse. The two rivers join to the south of Ely at Pope’s Corner. In earlier times the Cam was named the Granta, but after the name of the Anglo-Saxon town of Grantebrycge had been modified to Cambridge, the river was renamed to match. The two principal tributaries of the Cam are the Granta and the Rhee, though both are also officially known as the Cam. The Rhee begins just off the High Street (Ashwell Springs), Ashwell in Hertfordshire running north then east 12 miles (19 km) through the farmland of southern Cambridgeshire. The longer tributary, the Granta, starts near the village of Widdington in Essex flowing the 15 miles (24 km) north past Audley End House to merge with the Rhee a mile south of Grantchester. A further tributary, also known as the Granta, runs 10 miles (16 km) from south of Haverhill to join the larger Granta south of Great Shelford. Parish Index : 1. Elmdon 1. Debden 1. Newport 5.

    Matter SC: Natural and Historic Environment Statement by South Cambridgeshire District Council November 2016 Appendix 4: Supporting Evidence provided to South Cambridgeshire District Council from Guilden Morden Parish Council The Parish Council considered the Local Green Spaces proposed within Guilden Morden at its meeting last night and did not have anything to add in response to the questions posed by the Inspector or to assist the District Council in its response. Matter SC: Natural and Historic Environment Statement by South Cambridgeshire District Council November 2016 Appendix 4: Supporting Evidence provided to South Cambridgeshire District Council from Kingston Parish Council Kingston Parish Council is keen to support the designation of the LGS sites previously advised. We believe it is important to preserve green spaces, within even a small village, where residents can relax and enjoy nature, children can play safely, and biodiversity and wildlife can flourish to everyone’s benefit. Village events are regularly held on some of these spaces, which are well-attended and highly valued, as opportunities to meet and socialise with friends and neighbours, in a village which has no pub or shops. Several of our spaces have benches so that residents and passers-by can sit and relax. The spaces are spread through the village so everybody has one close by. We believe it is important that these spaces are protected so that, with the pressure on land for building and the high cost of land in South Cambridgeshire, there is no temptation by a future administration to build on them. The private house and garden adjacent to the Village Orchard should be excluded – it was included by error.

    The Abingtons and Hildersham News

    The Abingtons and Hildersham News www.theabingtons.org.uk June 2019 Photo by Carole McCrae After nine years as Chair of the FGMN Club Anne Hall steps down, April 2019 Letter from the Editor We can all rejoice at the opening of the Royal Papworth Hospital on the Addenbrooke’s site and wish it every success. However, the Babraham Park and Ride is now full on most days and the parking needs of extra staff, patients and visitors at the new hospital may be the cause. Perhaps we should encourage the planners who want an extra P&R location near Four Went Ways roundabout. Carers’ Week will be marked with a special event at the Institute on 13 June and has much to offer those involved in caring or needing such help. The Community hub meetings at Balsham provide a welcome additional source of support (pages 4, 6). The Abington and Hildersham churches have recently warmly acknowledged the excellent service and dedication of retiring treasurer and churchwardens (pages 5, 8). The Rector Iain McColl and his team work hard to supply services to all seven churches and are receptive to suggestions for different times of services that might better suit potential members of the congregation (page 5). ‘Has Science buried God?’ is the thought-provoking title of the first of the lunchtime lectures to be held at the Granta Centre on 28 June (page 13). The Sawston Fun Run 2019 has raised significant funds for charity and we can congratulate the Courtois family from Abington on their considerable successes in the event.

    South Cambs District Councillor Report

    SOUTH CAMBS DISTRICT COUNCILLOR REPORT NOVEMBER 2020 CLLRS CLARE DELDERFIELD & BRIAN MILNES A reminder that information about South Cambs response to coronavirus can be found on the regularly updated coronavirus pages on the SCDC website: https://www.scambs.gov.uk/coronavirus/ COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE REVIEW The Parish Councils request to adjust the boundary to incorporate both new development on Babraham Road will be considered by the Civic Affairs committee on 16 Nov 2020 FREE SCHOOL MEALS Following the MPs vote to not extend Free School Meals in the middle of a pandemic to vulnerable children, the District Council agreed to match fund the County Council if they were willing to fund the scheme over the Christmas break. As it now transpires, the Marcus Rashford campaign has again proved effective, as the Government has changed its mind and agreed to fund the scheme. POLICE CUTS Police cuts have been announced by Cambridgeshire’s Police Chief Constable. Changes have to be made in a bid to save £1.7m next year. Chief Constable Nick Dean said the force will receive a proportion of the 20,000 extra police officers promised by the government but Cambridgeshire “also needs to make considerable cost savings to avoid using financial reserves”. Public facing proposed changes include: - Reduction of PCSOs from 80 to 40 but with the guarantee of at least one in “every single neighbourhood”. - Removal of the community safety team, resulting in the reduction of six community safety officer posts across the force - Closure of nine enquiry offices, Including Sawston, with the promise of an appointment-based service in each area to enable the public to speak with an officer.
