2. An undated map in the Trumpington Hall archives. This probably pre-dates the Award map, as the original sinuous course of Hobson’s Brook is shown as well as the later “canalised” version that we see today.

3. A second map in the Cambridgeshire archives, dated 1804 and signed “Gibbons”. This shows the post-enclosure fields within the Pemberton holdings, including the land tenanted from Trinity College.
