BALSHAM BEING MAPPED OUT

We are now transcribing the list of names of those who cultivated the parcels of land shown on the original 1617 map.  What would Leonard Swan and his fellow villagers have made of our modern-day post codes?

Tho. Tevershm  (2a 2r 0p) borders 'the Comon Diche of Balsham', Leonard Swan, Bath. Rule, Ric. Marsh, G. Smith, Wid. Howson and W. Tailor and others are shown on 'New market way leading to Balsham.' Today this area is CB21 4EZ or Fox Road.

PARISH BOUNDARY WALK - SUNDAY 6TH SEPTEMBER

Plans are progressing well and applications are coming in. Sponsor/Entry form can be found on this website, and in the July edition of the Balsham Review. This is a one off occasion; we hope you will make the most of this opportunity!
