Church Farm House, Arrington

History of Church Farm House

Approximate location

Vanishing Cambridgeshire, Mike Petty: In March 1930 the Church Farm House was almost destroyed by a fire. CDN (3/3/1930): The occupants were sound asleep in the upper rooms when they were awoken by the cracking of flames and smell of smoke. The stairs soon became a mass of flames but with great presence of mind the daughter erected a ladder against the window of the bedroom in which two of her brothers were sleeping and they were enabled to escape.
