History of the Old English Gentleman
1839
Built on site of windmill that had burned down a few years previously. The road had been busy until the arrival of the railway in Cambridge. Coprolite works did open nearby for several years.
The origin of the name may have come about after the vicar praised the quality of the builders’ work. (See Harston History)
Applications for spirits licence were made several times in the 19th century but were refused.
