History of Old Church House

Fanny Wale writes in ‘Shelford Parva:’

A family named Barry also once lived here and a Mr and Mrs Hughes, two daughters and one son; they were connected with the Pembertons of Newton. A Mr and Mrs perkins, and Miss Barnes also lived there, and a family named Oakes the father and mother of Doctor Oakes the Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He was an MD in good practice. Church House was eventually bought by Mr Whitechurch who added two bow windows and two entrance gates and stables etc. This is the last house on the north side of Church Street.
