Sawston history
Prehistory
The northern high-ground in Sawston would have been the only vantage point from which to view the ancient Hill figures discovered in the Wandlebury section of Duxford.
Domesday Book
Sawston is recorded as being in the hundred of Whittlesford and the county of Cambridgeshire. It is recorded to have 38 households, placing it in the top 20% of settlements in terms of population.
Sawston Hall
Sawston Hall is a Grade I listed Tudor manor house dating from the 16th century. The hall is surrounded by almost 60 acres of grounds which includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest protected by Natural England due to the presence of Cambridge Milk Parsley, a rare English native plant. The Hall was the location used for the 1971 Michael Winner film “The Nightcomers”
Sawston Cross
Until 1815 the village of Sawston had an ancient cross, possibly erected by the Knights Templar. The cross had many purposes, even as a location where public officers administered justice during the 13th century. It survived the rage of the Puritans in the civil wars, but was torn down between the summer of 1815 and autumn of 1816.
Recent history
Sawston has been earmarked for development to meet Cambridgeshire’s ever-growing housing needs. Planning Inspectorate is currently reviewing the 2013 Local Plan. Approval has been given for a 3,000 capacity football stadium to house Cambridge City F.C.
