Must Farm

Cambridge University Arbury project

Welcome to the Arbury History Curriculum Project in partnership with Arbury Primary School and the University of Cambridge. Our project is aimed at enriching pupil understanding of local history and prehistory in the Cambridgeshire area by providing resources that are usable and accessible for teachers in the classroom. We have liaised with teachers from Arbury Primary School and researchers from the University of Cambridge to provide teaching materials which can be included in a primary school history curriculum and are based on the latest academic research.

Must Farm

The Must Farm excavations in the Fenlands of Cambridgeshire have revealed Early Bronze Age archaeology from over 3,000 years ago including the remains of nine log boats preserved in the waterlogged ground. In these resources we have images of the excavation process and finds, a PowerPoint (kindly supplied by Cambridge Archaeological Unit) which explains what an archaeologist is and what they do as well as detailed drawings of what life was like in the Cambridgeshire Fenlands in prehistoric times, which are free to use.

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
