The Vicarage, 3 Broad Lane, Haslingfield

History of 3 Broad Lane

Listed building:

House. 1761 (dated stone), possible earlier origins, remodelled c.1.860. Timber-framed, rendered and narrow gault brick with grey gault brick: to c.1860 parts. Cement tiles and some slates. Symmetrical, flush end stacks to 1761 principal range. Original 1761 plan of single range with parallel hall and stairbay at rear. Service wing probably rebuilt. In c.1860 parish room and new service wings added at the rear. Two storeys and attic. Garden front-retains symmetry of C18 facade of three bays but the two storey dormers and central porch are of gault brick and c.1860.

The variety of brick in the wall denotes different times of building. The lowest course, of red brick, probably belongs to a previous building. There is a crinkle-crankle wall.

The west chimney as a panel ‘1871 TP’ commemorating the vicar, Timothy Perkins (1746 – 1788).

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
