Inham Hall, Parson Drove

History of Inham Hall

Listed Building

House built 1723 with early C19 facade.

“John Peck of Parson Drove – an exceptional Fenman” by Dian Blawer (1997) is a detailed account of the life of John Peck who moved to In ham Hall in 1811. S Egar writing in 1895 describes the village as:

… apparently nearly cut off from the rest of the world. Good roads there were none. The dikes or banks kept up by the adjoining owners served a double purpose, protection against the floods, and roads which for the greater part of the year were nearly impassable even for packhorses.

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
