Church End, Gamlingay

History of Church End, Gamlingay

In the 1911 census there seems to be only one property listed on Church End, adjacent to Dutter End. However, in modern times (2022) Church End seems to extend quite far from the village. So the exact location of the Norman property is currently uncertain.

1911

John Norman enlisted in the Cambridge Volunteer Battalion when he was only 16. He was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1.7.1916. At the time his death was reported ann the Norman sons were serving in the armed forces and one of these had been badly wounded.

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
