Notes about the derivation of the names of the streets in Trumpington, organised from north to south. We would appreciate feedback and additional information. New entries were added as the major housing developments proceeded from 2010 to 2023. Researched and compiled by Andrew Roberts.
Trumpington Road: the road between Trumpington village and the Lensfield Road junction with Trumpington Street, Cambridge; shown as ‘Turnpike Road’ on the 1804 inclosure map; named London Road on Baker’s 1830 map and Trumpington Road on the 1880 Ordnance Survey map. On the 1910 Land Value map, ‘Trumpington Road’ was used for the road now called the High Street as well as the extension north to Cambridge but now only used for the road north from the Long Road junction.
Chaucer Road: named after Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343-1400), poet, writer of The Canterbury Tales , including The Reeve’s Tale (which has references to Trumpington). Also Chaucer Close , built in the late 1980s; Southacre Drive leading to Southacre Close , also built in the late 1980s, and The Coach House, Hinxton House, Chesterford House, Barrington House, Chippenham House and Thriplow House, plus Southacre Flats, built in the 1950s; and Edwinstowe Close , built in the grounds of Edwinstowe house in the early 1990s. The Southacre area is named after the house built for Reverend Henry Latham, which was accessed from Latham Road. Hinxton House, etc., are named after local parishes. Edwinstowe Close is named after Edwinstowe House. See Chaucer Road and Latham Road and Rus in Urbe .
Latham Road: named after Reverend Henry Latham (1821-1902), Master of Trinity Hall. Also Latham Close. The road is on the line of a farm track which in the early 1800s gave access from Trumpington Road to Blackland Farm (later called River Farm), after the land was awarded to F.C.J. Pemberton in the 1804-1809 Inclosure Award. Cambridge Nursery (later Willers Nursery) developed on the north side of the track, including a house at the junction with Trumpington Road. In the later 1800s, plots of land were leased for building and the first large house to be constructed was Southacre, built for Reverend Latham in 1880. He lived there until his death in 1902, after which the road was named in his memory. Southacre was demolished c. 1981 and its site was redeveloped, with access from Chaucer Road. See Chaucer Road and Latham Road and Rus in Urbe.
Queensway: built in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee year, 1977.
Newton Road: named after Trinity College fellow Isaac Newton (1642-1727); building started from 1892-96. Includes Apple Court, commemorating Newton’s apple tree, built in the 1950s. In 1809, when the Trumpington Inclosure Award was implemented together with the abolition of tithes, the Inclosure Commissioners allotted most of the land north of Long Road and east of Trumpington Road to Trinity College, in lieu of tithes. Henry VIII had granted the living of Trumpington to the College in 1546 and it had been entitled to the ‘great tithes’ up to the inclosure process.
Rayleigh Close: named after Trinity College fellow Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919), built in the 1970s.
Bentley Road: named after Trinity College fellow Richard Bentley (1662-1742); built from 1903.
Diamond Close: may have taken its name from the name of Newton’s dog (see Gray and Stubbings, p. 39).
Barrow Road: named after Trinity College fellow Isaac Barrow (1630-77); built from the 1930s. Isaac Barrow was a theologian and mathematician who was the first Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, with Isaac Newton as a student.
Porson Road, Porson Court: named after Trinity College fellow Richard Porson (1759-1808); built from the 1950s on Trinity College land. Includes Denis Wilson Court which was built in 1980 by the Royal British Legion for ex-servicemen and women and named in honour of its national treasurer. It was later taken over by a housing association and is now managed by Housing & Care 21, with 52 flats (see Trumpington Past & Present , p. 63, and Housing & Care 21 ).
Rutherford Road: named after Trinity College fellow Lord Rutherford (1871-1937); built in the 1950s also on Trinity College land.
Long Road: named Trumpington New Road on Baker’s 1830 map; also named Mill Road on the 1880s Ordnance Survey map, derived from the windmill on the north side of the road near its west end; still named Mill Road in the early 1900s; renamed Long Road before 1910 (‘Mill Road’ printed but ‘Long Road’ as an handwritten annotation on the Land Value map), presumably to reflect it originally being a long straight road.
Hudson Close: short close off the road to Clay Farm house, built 2011. Frances Pemberton’s daughter from her first marriage, Patience, born 1844, married Dr Thomas Percy Hudson in 1870.
Clay Farm (north)
The housing development named after Clay Farm, the farm house and farmland to the south of Long Road and east of Trumpington village. The overall development has been managed by Countryside Properties, with specific housing areas by Countryside itself, Crest Nicholson and Hill Residential, each of which was given a marketing name. Very confusingly, Countryside also used ‘Great Kneighton’ as the overall marketing name for Clay Farm and Glebe Farm. This is an historically inaccurate name: from the Medieval period to the early 1800s, ‘Great Kneighton’ was used for part of Trumpington parish near the current Hills Road, over a mile to the east of the Clay Farm area.
Aura development, northern area, south of Long Road, both sides of Lime Avenue (Countryside)
The Aura name is a marketing term adopted by Countryside. It has no historic significance. Two phases of the overall development have used this name, an initial phase in the northern area off Long Road and a subsequent phase to the south of the Halo development.
Lime Avenue: the northern part of the spine road through the Clay Farm development to Hobson Square, where the road becomes Hobson Avenue. The road was constructed from 2011- 13. Homes were constructed to the west and east of the road from 2013, with the first homes in Northrop Road occupied from mid 2014. The northern part of the road opened in mid 2014 to give access to the first phases of the Aura development. This was followed by the remaining length of the road from summer 2016, to give access to the Halo development, the southern part of the Aura development, the Virido development and Trumpington Community College. The road is lined with lime trees, planted by Countryside Properties as mature trees in 2012.
Seekings Close: Seekings Close is on the east side of Lime Avenue. The homes were constructed from 2014 and occupied from early 2015. It is named after the Seekings family. Charlie Seekings (1878-1949), a cowman and milkman lived at Whitelocks Yard, High Street. He married Sarah Wilson in 1899 and had 12 children, some of whom remained in Trumpington into the 1980s. One son, Charles Stanley Seekings (1913-1982), also a milkman, lived at Clay Farm Cottages.
Plantation Avenue: Plantation Avenue is south of Long Road, between Lime Avenue/Seekings Close and Hobson’s Brook, with a footpath giving access from Long Road. The homes were constructed from 2014 to 2016 and occupied from early 2015 to summer 2016. Clay Farm had a number of linear plantations which have been retained as part of the new development, including one planted in the early 1980s along the west side of Hobson’s Brook and another running east- west across the fields.
Whitelocks Drive: Whitelocks Drive is between Lime Avenue/Forbes Close and Hobson’s Brook, south of Plantation Avenue. The homes were constructed from 2015 to 2016, the northern part of the road was occupied from late 2015 and the eastern and southern part from spring 2016. The road is named after the Whitelocke family, also known as Whitelock. In 1657, Sir James Whitelocke married Mary Pychard, who lived at Trumpington Hall. Sir Francis Pemberton purchased the Hall in 1675, but Lady Whitelocke remained there until her death in 1715. In his will of 1724, her son George Whitelocke left a house on the west side of the High Street to help relieve poverty in Trumpington. That house and grounds has been rebuilt four times in the last 200 years, now known as Whitlocks. See Background to the name Whitelocks Drive .
Forbes Close: Forbes Close is on the east side of Lime Avenue, further away from Long Road than Seekings Close. The apartments and homes were constructed from early 2015 and occupied from early 2016, with an inner courtyard occupied from summer 2016. The close is named after Charles Forbes (d. 1926) who was head gardener at Anstey Hall and prominent in starting the Grantchester and Trumpington horticultural shows, c. 1880-90. Charles Forbes was born in 1850 in Birse, near Aboyne, Aberdeenshire. He built Aboyne Cottages at the eastern end of Alpha Terrace, lived at 1 Aboyne Cottages from about 1908, and died in Trumpington in 1926. One of the homes has an artwork on its upper wall commemorating the Cornwell family (who farmed Clay Farm from 1931-73).
Northrop Road: Northrop Road is to the west of Lime Avenue, south of Long Road, with footpath access from Long Road. Homes on the arm of the road near Lime Avenue were occupied from mid 2014 and those on the two east-west arms from autumn 2014. The road is named after the Northrop family who lived in the local area. Eli Northrop (c. 1864-1952) was an agricultural labourer who married Elizabeth Stearn (c. 1861-1950) in 1888. Eli and Elizabeth Northrop had four daughters, born in Trumpington between 1889 and 1901. Eli and Elizabeth lived at Clay Farm Cottages, on the south side of Mill Road [Long Road], until 1924; in 1934 they came back to Trumpington and lived in Mill Cottages, on the north side of Long Road. They were both buried in Trumpington. Includes The Aura Building: ‘Aura’ was the marketing name given to the development by Countryside Properties in 2013. The building is at the Lime Avenue/Northrop Road junction, with the first residents moving in from autumn 2014. See Background to the name Northrop Road .
Clay Farm Drive: Clay Farm Drive is between Lime Avenue and Willers Lane on the south side of the Aura development. The homes on the north side of Clay Farm Drive were constructed and occupied from 2014. The Aura development is part of the former Clay Farm. When the parish of Trumpington was enclosed in 1809, the land to the east of the village on both sides of Hobson’s Brook and south of Long Road was awarded to F.C.J. Pemberton. Clay Farm house was built near Long Road.
Willers Lane: The lane is aligned north-south from Long Road to Clay Farm Drive, with an established hedgerow to its west. Homes were occupied from mid 2014. It is named after Catherine Elizabeth (Kitty) Willers (1898-1977), the daughter of George Willers, nurseryman, and Alice (Lawrence). Kitty was a bell-ringer extraordinaire, the captain of the church bell tower and a respected village personality who lived in the High Street. (see an Appreciation by the bellringers.)
Halo development, south of Long Road, to the west of Lime Avenue (Crest Nicholson)
Halo is a marketing name adopted by the developers. It has no historic significance.
Lime Avenue: the continuation of the spine road from Long Road, see above. The apartments on the west side of the road, south of the first arm of Clay Farm Drive, named The Caldwell Building, were constructed from 2015 and occupied from early 2016. Further apartments to the south, towards the established tree belt, named Dovecot House, were constructed from 2016 and occupied from early 2017. It is assumed that these names were given to the buildings by the original developers, Skanska; they do not have a local significance.
Clay Farm Drive: Clay Farm Drive branches off Lime Avenue, see above. It has a number of arms within the Halo development. There is play area in the western part of the development and a path linking Clay Farm Drive with Wingate Way, opened in autumn 2019. The homes on the south side of the road and its arms to the south were constructed from 2015 and occupied from early 2016. Homes to the west of this were constructed from 2016-18 and occupied from late 2016. Construction was completed in late 2019.
Brook End Close: Brook End Close is to the north of Clay Farm Drive, south of Long Road and west of an established hedgerow, with Willers Lane on the further side of the hedgerow. It is named after Hobson’s Brook, which flows through the Clay Farm development to the east of the Close. Construction started in late 2016 and homes were occupied from late 2017.
Nine Wells Road: Nine Wells Road is between Lime Avenue and the first of the north-south branches of Clay Farm Drive. It is named after Nine Wells Local Nature Reserve, where there is a series of springs which provide the source for Hobson’s Brook, to the south east of Clay Farm. It was constructed from early 2016, with homes occupied from summer 2016. It includes Northcroft House, at the junction with Lime Avenue. It is assumed that the name Northcroft House was given to the building by the original developers, Skanska, it does not have a local significance.
Green Lane: Green Lane is at the southern end of the development, parallel with the old tree belt and presumably named in recognition of that feature. The lane and homes were constructed from late 2014. The apartment building is named Windslow House, occupied from early 2017. It is assumed that the name Windslow House was given to the building by the original developers, Skanska, it does not have a local significance.
Aura development, southern area, west of Lime Avenue and Trumpington Community College (Countryside)
The second phase of the Aura development.
Lime Avenue: the continuation of the northern spine road, past Trumpington Community College towards Hobson Square, see above. Homes on the west side of the road were constructed from early 2016 and occupied from 2017. There is a small square and play area opposite the entrance to Trumpington Community College, opened late 2017. Homes at the southern end of the road, near the Clay Farm Centre, were constructed from 2018.
Windmill Drive: the access road to the west of Lime Avenue, constructed from early 2016. There are two branches of the road from Lime Avenue, continuing on the west side of the development. The homes were constructed from late 2016 and occupied from 2017. A tower windmill (corn mill) was built in 1831, on the north side of Long Road near the Long Road/Trumpington Road junction. The presence of the mill is recognised in the name of the first house on the north side of Long Road, Mill House. Long Road itself was named Mill Road from the late 1800s to around 1910.
Woodpecker Way: Woodpecker Way is a north-south road between the north and south parts of Windmill Drive, parallel with Lime Avenue. The road and homes were constructed from 2016 and occupied from 2017. Woodpeckers are regularly seen and heard in the local shelter belts and woods.
Hawkey Road: Hawkey Road branches off to the south of Windmill Drive, west of Lime Avenue. The road and homes were constructed from 2016 and occupied from late 2017. In the 1950-60s, the Trumpington Young Farmers Club held Hawkey Suppers to celebrate the completion of the harvest. (See Trumpington Young Farmers’ Club , early 1960s.)
Trumpington Community College: the college is on the east side of Lime Avenue. It was constructed from 2014 and opened at this location in September 2016.
Aura development west of the Clay Farm Centre (Countryside)
The third phase of the Aura development, under construction from early 2018.
There was an old farm track on the north side of the parcel, originally going from Manor Farm due east across Clay Farm. Following the development of the housing estate in the 1940s and then Addenbrooke’s Hospital from the 1960s, the track continued from the corner of Foster Road and Paget Road into Clay Farm and on towards the hospital. In early 2019, it was realigned and reconstructed to create a footpath linking Foster Road, Paget Road, Lime Avenue and the busway. The first part of the path to Lime Avenue reopened in March 2019
Stacey Road: Stacey Road is a turning off Fowler Avenue, constructed from early 2018, with homes occupied from early spring 2019. The Stacey family was a long-established Trumpington family, traceable from the earliest parish register in 1567 into the 19th century. One of the finest headstones in the churchyard – and the oldest legible memorial – is to William and Susanna Stacey, who died in 1729 and 1720, and two of their sons. This William’s father, also William, was born about 1642, during the Commonwealth period after the Civil War, when there were no baptisms recorded. By the 1660s, he was a respected member of the community, with terms as Petty Constable and Overseer of the Poor. One of the younger William’s grandsons was named in the Inclosure award and map of 1804 as owning a parcel of land on the east side of the Shelford Road, on the parish boundary. (See A Walk Around Trumpington Churchyard .)
Henty Close: Henty Close is a turning off Lime Avenue, under construction from early 2018, with homes occupied from summer 2019. George Alfred Henty [G.A. Henty] (1832-1902) was an author, journalist and war correspondent, born in Trumpington to James and Mary Bovill Henty. He was best known for historical adventure stories which were very popular in the late 19th century.
Fowler Avenue: the road on the south east side of the development, from Lime Avenue, overlooking the Clay Farm Centre. The road was constructed from 2016 to give access to the Virido development, with homes along the eastern part of the road constructed from early 2018 and occupied from autumn 2019. See below for derivation of the name.
Hering Road: Hering Road is to the east of Lime Avenue and south of Trumpington Community College’s sports area. Its northern arm is parallel with the alignment of one of the farm tracks that crossed Clay Farm, going from Trumpington village to the main railway line. It was constructed from early 2019, with homes occupied from late 2020. Hering Road is named after the Hering family: Charles and Margaret Hering lived at The Green Man, Trumpington High Street, from 1905 to 1936, where Charles Hering was the innkeeper. Charles Hermann Hering (1870-1936) was born in Waldenburg, Saxony, Germany, and Margaret Rouse (1867- 1954) was born in London. They married in 1894 and had 3 children, two of whom were born in Trumpington. (See the page about The Green Man for information about the public house.)
Poulter Walk: Poulter Walk is to the north east of Hobson Square, parallel with the Busway. It was the final area to be constructed within the Aura development, with work underway from 2019 to 2022. Poulter Walk and the length of Hobson Avenue facing Hobson Square include a number of shop units, completed in spring 2022: a supermarket (on the corner of Hobson Avenue and the Busway path), 3 retail units and 1 retail unit/cafe. The supermarket is to be a Co-op. Poulter Walk is named after the Poulter family: Hannah (c. 1870-1934), and her unmarried daughters Emily Elizabeth (1895-1980) and Hannah May (1898-1942), who lived in Whitelocks Yard, Trumpington High Street. They were well-known laundresses: the laundry trade was an important occupation in Trumpington in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with business coming from the colleges and private homes.
Virido development, between Foster Road and the Busway (Hill Residential)
Virido is a marketing name with no historic significance.
Fowler Avenue: the road from Lime Avenue into the Virido development, to the north west of the Clay Farm Centre. Fowler Avenue forms the northern boundary of the Virido development, constructed from early 2016, with homes on the Virido part of the road occupied from early 2017. The road is named after Sir Ralph Howard Fowler (1889-1944), a mathematical physicist who lived in Trumpington. He was appointed lecturer in mathematics at Trinity College in 1920, working under the influence of Sir Ernest Rutherford, and was later Professor of Mathematical Physics. He married Sir Ernest’s daughter, Eileen Mary Rutherford, in 1921. In the 1930s, the family lived at Cromwell House, Trumpington Road, where Sir Ralph died in 1944.
Harradine Street: the first turn off Fowler Avenue. The road was constructed from late 2015 and homes were occupied from early 2017. The road is named after the Harradines, a long- established Trumpington family. Members of the family were the village blacksmiths from the 1760s. At the enclosure of the parish in 1804, William, Martha and James Harradine were awarded adjacent parcels of land to the east of Trumpington High Street (including the area now crossed by Alpha Terrace and Wingate Way). With 15 acres, they became the largest lay landowners after the Pemberton and Anstey families.
Pychard Road: the second turn off Fowler Avenue. The road was constructed from 2016 and homes occupied from early 2017. The Pychard or Pitcher family owned one of the manors in the parish of Trumpington from the 1400s. When Thomas Pychard died in 1655, he devised his lands to his wife Mary, who lived at Trumpington Hall. By 1657, Mary Pychard had married Sir James Whitelocke, a Cromwellian knight. In 1675, the heirs Thomas and John Pitcher sold the reversion to Sir Francis Pemberton, but Lady Whitelocke remained at Trumpington Hall until her death in 1715.
Drury Avenue: the third turn off Fowler Avenue, forming the western and southern boundary of the Virido development, linking with Harradine Street. The road was construction from 2016 and homes on the southern arm were occupied from early 2017 and on the western arm from 2017. The western arm incorporates the line of the long-established footpath to the rear of Foster Road. The road is named after John Drury, who was a long-serving and inspirational teacher at Fawcett School. He will be particularly remembered for his end of term productions, when the musicals were eagerly awaited by parents and students alike. After his retirement in 1987, he established a small wholesale nursery growing scented geraniums.
Dobson Way: an east-west link road between Drury Avenue and Harradine Street, continuing to the east towards Hobson Square. The road was constructed from 2016 and homes were occupied from early 2017. The Dobsons were another long-established Trumpington family, including stone masons and builders. At the enclosure of the parish in 1804, William Dobson was awarded two small parcels of land, one in the village centre between the High Street and Church Lane and another at the southern edge of the parish east of Shelford Road.
Hartree Lane: an east-west link road between Drury Avenue and Harradine Street, also continuing to the east towards the Busway. The lane was construction from 2016 and homes occupied from spring 2017. The road is named after Eva Hartree and family. William Hartree (c. 1870-1943) and Eva Rayner (c. 1873-1947) married in 1895 and the family lived in Newton Road and Bentley Road, Trumpington, in the 1900s-1940s. William Hartree was a university lecturer in engineering. Eva Hartree was active in public affairs. She served as President of the National Council of Women, was a local Councillor and the first woman to be Mayor of Cambridge, in 1924-25. One of their three children, Douglas Rayner Hartree (1897-1958), was a theoretical physicist and mathematician, whose achievements included the development of numerical analysis and the construction of a differential analyser made with Meccano. He was closely involved in the development of computers in the 1940s.
The Virido development includes a central square, bordered by Harradine Street, Hartree Lane, Pychard Road and Dobson Way, constructed from 2016 and accessible from early 2017.
Hobson Square : the main square within Clay Farm, adjacent to the Busway, at the meeting point of Lime Avenue and Hobson Avenue, midway between Long Road and Shelford Road. The Square was constructed by Tamdown for Countryside from mid 2014 to mid 2015. Named after Thomas Hobson (1544/45-1631), a Cambridge carrier who left money in his will towards the maintenance of the conduit and brook which had been constructed c. 1610 and now bears his name. The Clay Farm Centre is on the northwest side of the square, with community rooms, the Clay Farm Library, Trumpington Medical Centre and accommodation. Construction starting in April 2015 and the Centre opened from April 2018. The Medical Centre opened in March 2020, just before the start of the pandemic. The Centre was named in 2015, in recognition of its location within the area of Clay Farm. (See the Centre website.) There will also be a number of retail units on two sides of the Square, with those on the south west side constructed from early 2016 and occupied from spring 2018. The first to open was Gregory’s Pharmacy in spring 2018, when it had been anticipated that the Medical Centre would be moving to the Clay Farm Centre, but this move was delayed until 2020 (Welfare Pharmacy from May 2021). The adjacent unit was developed as a local shop from late 2019, opening as a Nisa store in February 2020. Dobson Way links Hobson Square into the Virido area. The final phase of the square, on the north east side, was constructed from 2018 and completed in 2022. This includes Hering Road and Poulter Walk, with a number of shop units, completed in spring 2022: a Co-op supermarket (on the corner of Hobson Avenue and the Busway path), 3 retail units and 1 retail unit/cafe.
High Street: the main road through the village, from Long Road to the junction with Hauxton Road and Shelford Road. ‘High Street’ was in use by the 1841 census, but the road was also called London Road or Cambridge Road in other 19th century censuses and on Ordnance Survey maps and Trumpington Road on the 1910 Land Value map. Also known as Trumpington High Street (road sign at the junction with Hauxton Road and Shelford Road, October 2012).
Gazeley Road: the first house in the road was built in 1891 and was originally named ‘Goldieslie’; the second occupant of the house, Mrs J. Collin, grew up in Gazeley, Suffolk, and the house was renamed ‘Gazeley House’. The name had been adopted for the road by 1910 when the Land Value map was annotated with the name in pencil (see map above and also Trumpington Past & Present , p. 108 and Gray and Stubbings, p. 137). There are ‘private road’ signs at the junction with Trumpington High Street which have Gazeley Lane , but Gazeley Road is the correct name.
Wingate Way: named after William Warburton Wingate (d. 1943), who married Viola Pemberton. The eastern end of Wingate Way faced onto farmland until the development of homes on Clay Farm from the early 2010s. There is a path connecting Wingate Way to Clay Farm Drive, opened in autumn 2019.
Winchmore Drive: the name may be associated with the Pemberton estate, built in the 1970s.
Lambourne Close and Gayton Close: originally called ‘Trumpington Court’, built in 1979 by Melbourn Property Co. Ltd., Potton. The ‘Close’ names had no local connections: the company chose them as they were attractive. The company’s subsequent developments in the area were named after trees and shrubs, including The Brambles.
Alpha Terrace: the road is named after ‘Alpha Cottage’, which is on the corner of the High Street. This had been built for James Cuming, who had a boarding school in the house on the opposite corner, on the site now occupied by St Mary’s House. James Cuming’s son, Charles, inherited the land to the east of the High Street and after he died it was sold in 1879 for building plots. The road was originally called Scott’s Row. Number 3 was occupied by Charles Scott and family in 1881. He was a bricklayer and he and his son, Nathan, probably built many of the older houses. Nathan Scott had a builder’s yard next to the Free Church. The road was called Alpha Row in the parish register entries from 1886-90 and Alpha Terrace in the 1891 census; also known as Alpha Road and recorded as such on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map: the 1910 Land Value map was annotated to read Alpha Terrace (see Building Alpha Terrace and illustration 49 in Trumpington in Old Picture Postcards). Leads to Fawcett Primary School, opened 1949-50, and Fawcett House (formerly the Cambridgeshire Professional Development Centre).
Scotsdowne Road: named after Scott’s builders yard? The homes were occupied from early 1969.
Sefton Close: derivation not known.
Southbrooke Close: derivation not known.
Beverley Way: assumed to be named after Beverley Cathedral; there is no record at the Guildhall about the name, early 1970s (see What ‘ s the Connection? ).
Trumpington Mews: no specific derivation.
Church Lane: the road between the church and the High Street; Church Street in the 1841 and later censuses.
Grantchester Road: the road between Trumpington village and Grantchester; Grantchester Lane in the 1881 and later censuses.
Campbell Lane: presumably named after Captain William Huntley Campbell (d. 1844), the first husband of Frances Pemberton. Built in the 1970s.
Maris Lane: named after the Maris family who built and lived in Maris House and farmed Church Farm in the early-mid 19th century. ‘Maris’ was used as the first element in the name of a number of the crops developed by the Plant Breeding Institute, whose entrance was on Maris Lane from the 1950s. Other elements from these names, such as ‘Piper’, have been used for street names on Trumpington Meadows (see Background to the name Maris Lane).
Anstey Way: named after the Anstey family, owners of Anstey Hall from 1748-1838 (Anstey Hall was acquired by Dr Christopher Anstey in 1748 after he and his wife, Mary, contested the will of her father, Anthony Thompson) (see Names of the Estate Roads). Until the end of World War 2, there was an unnamed farm track from the High Street across the fields towards Hills Road, serving Church Farm (where Bidwells was built). The new road was built and named in 1946, to provide access to the new Council housing estate. It includes the crescent of shops, built by the Council in the 1950s. There was also a block of flats and houses, demolished and replaced with apartments in 2018-20, named Wilson Court and Lingrey Court, with occupants moving into these from February 2020. Wilson Court is named in memory of the three Wilson brothers who died in World War 1. Also Crossways Gardens, built in 1970 in the grounds of the former Crossways House. A block of flats called Crossways House was built in the 1980s and renovated in 2012.
Lingrey Court: derived from ‘Lingey Fen’, an area on the west bank of the River Cam near Byron’s Pool where ice-skating championships were held in the 1920s (‘Lingrey’ with an ‘r’ was mistakenly used by the Council). The road has a group of self-build houses, work on which started in July 1982 and the first houses were occupied in April 1983. The Lingrey Court apartment block built in 2018-20 also faces onto the road.

Trumpington Meadows
The housing development west of Hauxton Road and south of the parish church and village centre, named by its developers in the mid-2000s. The development project was being led by Grosvenor and homes are being constructed by Barratt Homes. There will eventually be 1200 homes, a primary school, country park and local play areas and a local centre. The first phase of development was in the northern part of the site, near the village centre. Subsequent phases have extended around Trumpington Meadows Primary School and to the County Park. The final phases extended the development around the Park & Ride site to the Addenbrooke’s Road/Hauxton Road junction. When the parish was enclosed in 1804-09, the land called ‘Hauxton Field’ was awarded to Christopher Anstey of nearby Anstey Hall and was later known as Anstey Hall Farm. It was taken over by the Plant Breeding Institute in 1950 and became a world-famous plant breeding centre (see History of the Plant Breeding Institute ). The name ‘Trumpington Meadows’ has no historic significance. The roads within the development have been named after crop varieties bred in Trumpington by the Plant Breeding Institute and field names used for the area during its use by the Plant Breeding Institute. Thanks to Dr Stephen Brown for advice on the names.

John Chaplen or Chaplin or Chaplyn and his son Thomas Chaplin or Chaplen were Lords of the Manor of Trumpington De La Pole between 1574 and 1615. Thomas Chaplen was Lord of the Manor in 1610, when he signed a tripartite agreement with the town and the university, giving them rights over Hobson’s Brook which provided a water supply into Cambridge, running from Nine Wells through Trumpington to Hobson’s Conduit. The lease runs for 1000 years and the rights of access include the stream bed and land six feet either side of this. The Hobson’s Conduit Trust still lays claim to those rights of access. (See Background to the name Chaplen Street .)

Definition as above. (See Background to the name Hobson Aven ue, Hobson Road and Hobson Square .)
Trumpington Park Primary School, Hobson Avenue, is in the northern part of the Abode development. The plans were approved in September 2016, construction started in autumn 2016 and the school opened in September 2017. The School is part of the Cambridge Primary Education Trust. Other schools in the group include Hatton Park Primary School, Longstanton, and the use of ‘Park’ in that name plus the nearness of the school to a play area and Hobson’s Park influenced the Trust in deciding on the name. (See the School website.) The play area between Hobson Avenue and the Brook was constructed in 2018.
Beyer Road: a turning off the west side of Hobson Avenue, parallel with the Community Gardens. The road and homes were constructed from early 2017 and occupied from late 2017.

Glebe Farm
The housing development to the south of Trumpington village, named after Glebe Farm (formerly Vicarage Farm), part of 74 acres of land between Shelford Road and Hauxton Road awarded to the Vicar at the inclosure of the parish in 1804-09, ‘in lieu of his glebe land and right of common’. The farmhouse (lived in by the farm bailiff) was on a track from Shelford Road, later developed as Exeter Close, with Glebe Farm House still there. The Church sold the land to the south of the Cambridge-Bedford railway line cutting, probably in the 1920s, with the northern part developed as Bishop’s Road and the southern part sold to Cambridgeshire County Council to continue as farmland. The tenant farmers included Frank Tebbit and George Martin from the 1930s to the 1970s. The farmland was crossed by a north-south hedge and path which was a continuation of the path from Hauxton Road to Bishop’s Road. This feature was retained and provided a natural division between the first and second phases of housing development (west and east of the hedgerow). After the area was removed from the Green Belt in 2006, it was developed as housing by Countryside Properties, with the marketing name ‘Novo’. Countryside also used the marketing name ‘Great Kneighton’ for the combination of the Clay Farm and Glebe Farm developments. Construction work started in 2010, the first residents moved in during October 2012 and work on the third phase was completed in early 2018. The development includes just over 300 homes, play areas and green spaces with some art works and allotments.
