Corbett Street & John Corbitt, Cottenham

History of Corbett Street

1891: Corbett Street is still called Ivatt’s Lane in the census, but by the time of the electoral roll, it was known as Corbett’s Lane.

John Corbitt [sic] was a celebrated Baptist preacher whose family owned property in the street around the Waggon and Horses. He lived in the village between 1800 and 1830.
