You are invited to a  talk by David Oates on the heritage aspects of Cross Close Set-Aside (CCSA) by Zoom on Monday 28^th February at 7.30pm.

Many people think of CCSA as a magical 11 acres of wilderness, woodland, and open areas on the edge of Histon – but it also played an important part in early settlement.

It is the oldest recorded individual field in Histon, mentioned in a 1251 deed. Laser airborne radar shows that the field is crossed by two ancient double-ditched probably pre-historic tracks for driving cattle to and from Westwick. This land has probably been at the heart of local activity and settlement until the 16^th century. 

Flier for the Talk. The zoom link is https://ukri.zoom.us/j/99798947790 . The talk is free.

You may like to consider a donation that will contribute to helping Histon & Impington Green Spaces Charity secure the land for the community in perpetuity. Donations can be made through JustGiving at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/abbeyfields-ccsatalk or on the website at https://abbeyfields.online/

This is the first of a series of talks – future talks will focus on the flora and fauna aspects of the landscape.
