James Bass Mullinger1 Benet Place, Lensfield Road
History of 1 Benet Place
In 1821 on the subject of postal charges, there is this letter from Mr E S Pearce: “I have just entered on a house near the new College, Downing, called Benet Place, which is clearly within the town; I find that the limit of free delivery on the London side of Cambridge is Addenbrooke’s Hospital, which was never before considered as a limit of the town.”
1861
In the 1861 the properties at Benet Place are unnumbered.Martha Edlestone is listed; one can assume that she is in the same house as (1) in the 1871 census. But Charlotte Asby is listed as well at Benet Place, if not at no. 1 then at a property preceding that which was not in the 1871 census.
