Listed building on Heritage at Risk Register

In 2017 the owner, Cambridgeshire County Council, completed major scheme of structural repairs to the buck and trestle with Historic England grant aid. A second phase of grant-aided work, to reinstate the stocks and sails, with much community involvement is likely to complete by the end of 2021.
