93 & 95 High Street, (King William IV), Little Shelford

History of 93 - 95 High Street

Listed building:

2 Cottages. Probably late C17 with C19 additions. Older range timber-framed and plastered with steeply pitched tiled roof; gable facing.

These properties are in the same the location as the William IV pub shown on the 1901 OS map. Fanny Wale desribes the location in Shelford Parva and says that the King William Public House was hired by Hudson, the brewer, until 1910. The owner, Misses wale, paid a compensation to the brewer and turned the property into a comfortable private house and let it to John Jennings.

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
