Hauxton history

---

Hauxton has been occupied for over two thousand years thanks to its position on the River Cam and a ford near Hauxton Mill that has probably been used since the Bronze Age. A settlement to the north-east of the mill, with a cemetery of over 100 graves is believed to have been in use from the early Iron Age, through Belgic and Roman occupation until Anglo-Saxon times. The name Hauxton means “Farmstead of a man called Hafoc” in the Domesday Book.
