Histon and Impington Village Society are holding a talk on Tuesday 31st May from 7.30pm at Histon Methodist Church.
The talk entitled “𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝘁𝘀 S𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 D𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀” will be given by Nigel Fenner.
Victorian social history in Cambridge is widely documented, but this talk is one with an exceptional difference. Nigel Fenner helps shed new light on a little researched aspect of Cambridge during this period, helping us understand what a crucial role sport played in bringing the town and gown together during the Victorian era. He will also talk on how the Cambridge Fenner’s cricket ground came to fruition following the escapades on Parker Piece.
Tickets are free for Village Society Members, and cost £3 for non-Members. You can either attend in-person or watch on Zoom. Please book via the Eventbrite link; https://www.eventbrite.com/…/h-i-village-society-may…or email handivsoc@gmail.com for more information.

Histon and Impington Archeology Group (HIAG) and Fen Edge Archaeology Group (FEAG) have a talk on 6th June from 7.30pm at Histon Baptist Church and on Zoom.
In place of the advertised talk there will be a talk entitled ‘The Lost Vicarage of Eltisley’ by William Franklin (Staploe Archaeology Group). The talk will discuss the excavations in 2021 of one of the half-dozen known moated sites at Eltisley.
This moat was thought to have been a water garden associated with a house built in 1612. Excavation revealed an L-shaped building, confirmed by background research as the vicarage which was built in 1517. Records show it was uninhabitable by the 1780s and the excavation revealed evidence of its fate.
Those who would like the Zoom link for Monday will need to register for this on our website via the form on the ‘Contact Us’ page. The talk is free for HIAG and FEAG members, but £3 for non-members (whether in person or on zoom)
We are hoping to reschedule the planned talk by Adam Sutton on The pottery industry of the Lower Ouse valley for a later date.

Histon and Impington Archaeology Group (HIAG) have a talk on 16th May from 7.30pm at Histon Baptist Church (or via Zoom).
For over 800 years, from about 1000 AD, Histon and Impington were surrounded by nine enormous open fields which stretched to the boundaries of the neighbouring villages. David Oates’s recent study of surviving documents from the 16th century onwards has allowed the layout of the fields to be recreated and the names of long-lost roads and locations to be identified. Some of the fields reused tracks and driveways from the Romano-British period, giving a glimpse of an even earlier village layout. After a career as a university lecturer in mathematics, David returned to the district and founded HIAG to enable local people to enjoy the landscape history and archaeology of their villages. He is now President of HIAG.
In person talks at Histon Baptist Church will resume after Easter, with the option to join via Zoom. Talks will remain free for members, but the charge for non-members (whether attending in person or via Zoom) will be £3.
Anyone wishing to join using Zoom (whether members or non-members of HIAG) must register in advance on our website here, at the latest by the Saturday preceding the talk to receive the link. Note: members will no longer be sent the Zoom link automatically.
