Rosemont was one of the first large houses built in this part of Cherry Hinton Road. In 1891 the first recorded inhabitant was James Greenall, chaplain b.1849 with his wife Alice and three children. He was chaplain at H.M. Prison Cambridge. By 1901 he is a minister in the parish of Holy Innocents, Foulsham, Norfolk.

We then find in 1911 George Bedwell the piano tuner living here and in 1913 a Michael Prendergast Parker, a lithographic artist.

It was one of four houses demolished in the late 20th century to make room for the Normanhurst residential home.

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
