Elm, Cambridgeshire history
Prehistoric
Much of the parish would have been undrained salt marsh and salt lagoon, with any higher areas forming fen-islands. Mesolithic hunter-gatherers would have fished and hunted waterfowl from these islands. Later, farmers would have grazed their sheep and other livestock on the marsh pastures.
Roman period
The area was occupied during the Roman period, with domestic finds scattered through the parish. Apart from agriculture, there is evidence of salt processing in the Elm area.
Mediaeval period
The Great Hey or High Fen was common to the vills of Elm, Leverington, Newton, Wisbech, Outwell, Upwell and Tydd St Giles. Drainage and falling sea levels may have prompted the settlement of Elm by the Medieval period.
Modern period
Elm, or Elme, once had a stop on the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway, known as Elmbridge. It was just over the border in Norfolk near to a bridge that spanned the former canal. Satellite settlements formed to the south of the parish at Friday Bridge and at Coldham, alongside the Leam, where land was better drained.
