There are remains of a pagan Anglo-Saxon
cemetery near to the river, south-east of the bridge. (fn. 25)
The village of Little Shelford grew up west of there,
around the point where the Whittlesford road turns
east to cross the river. It spread from a nucleus near
the ford, including the manor house and church,
westwards along Church Street and southwards
from the west end of Church Street along the
modern High Street, known in the early 19th
century as Thames Street Road. |
