Description
This volume covers the part of the county lying northwest of Cambridge and includes the histories of twenty-seven parishes forming the hundreds of Chesterton, Northstowe, and Papworth. The area is bounded on the south by the road to St. Neots, on the east by the river Cam, and on the north by the Great Ouse or Old West River. It falls into two distinct physical landscapes, the land in the south sloping gently from a ridge and that in the north forming an extension of the fenlands. Two patterns reflect the geographical division. The villages on the higher ground were mainly devoted to arable farming; each parish tended to be dominated by its principal landowner and the Church of England. Along the fen edge the parishes were mostly larger and included extensive meadow and pasture created on former marshland. The southeast corner of the area was particularly affected by the urban and academic expansion of Cambridge in the late 19th and the 20th century.
