Croxton deserted medieval village & 16th cent. garden

History of deserted village and garden

Scheduled Monument

The site lies in a scheduled area of archaeological significance with Bronze Age and Roman finds recovered from the vicinity. Also within Croxton Park itself are the earthwork remains of designated Croxton deserted medieval village. Croxton Park also contains a Grade II* registered mid-18th century house and walled garden and also the 12th century Saint James Church. The project revealed fairly modern dumped deposits and made ground, as well as showing the continuation of the above ground 17th to mid 19th century curved brick ha-ha further towards the south than is visible above ground.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
