More about this scene
The farmhouses and cottages all have steps down to the street because the old unmetalled road to Cambridge had been gradually lowered by use. In c1830 a new road skirting the parkland of Hinxton Hall was built, bypassing the village. The nearest cottages need to be re-thatched; longstraw thatch needs to be patched regularly and re-coated every fifteen years.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember walking and splashing in the ford with my family.
I was born in 1959 at no 3 Church Green, Hinxton, 3 doors away from the church. I went to this church until I was 6 and I played in the churchyard.
