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.

Elm, Cambridgeshire landmarks

The parish church is a large needle-spired, stone building, mainly of Early English 13th-century origin. Elm House, that has been dated to 1630, and the Sportsman public house are two of nearly two dozen listed buildings in the parish.
