400 articles on the history of East Cambridgeshire, the four
hundreds of Cheveley, Flendish, Staine and Staploe. The
contributions of ordinary men and women, as well as gentry, clergy,
farming dynasties, merchants and manufacturers, to the history of
the towns, village, hamlets and streets of East Cambridgeshire, and
to theworking of fens, fields and farms, are clearly revealed in
the histories of the twenty-three parishes which make up the four
hundreds of Staploe, Staine, Flendish and Cheveley. The region is
diverse in character: fenland dominates the north of theregion; to
the south lies open field arable and heathland, and in Cheveley
hundred in the south-west there are hills, a continuation of the
East Anglian heights. Major themes include the economy and drainage
of the fens, the development of horse breeding around Newmarket,
and the growth of industry and communications around Cambridge. The
comprehensive history of each parish is fully referenced,
illustrated with at least one map, which is complemented by four
hundredal articles and an introduction setting out general themes
and issues.
