Church Street / Church End, Fenstanton

History of Church Street

In the 1851 census properties are listed along Church Lane, then Church End until the High Street. This suggests that Church End was  renamed Church Street as shown on the 1900 OS map. The Mann house is likely to have been at the north end of Church End / Church Street near the Church.
