Historic England

W. M Palmer wrote in 1913:

Passing by the water mill into Cambridgeshire, and up a narrow path between walls which contain ancient bricks, Green Lane was reached. This is so called because the garden in front of the brick house called the Old Manor House was once the village green. It was enclosed in 1840. The extent of the green may be seen from the position of the cottages which still surround it. Previously this apce was called the Old Market, and it was here that Linton marker was held from 1246 to about 1280……….

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
