Balsham: a village story

16th February 2016

We are two years into our project and this year we will bring together all our information, and are seeking modern day contributions to bring the project up-to-date.  Through the centuries a great deal of information has been gathered from the  census, sales records and the maps themselves.

One building, a picture, painting or engraving that eludes us is, the large house which stood on the site of the present day May's Avenue. We believe this to be the home of Thomas Prince (Surgeon), the 1885 maps shows this to be 'nearly all  pulled down.'  Can you help?  Do you have a picture lurking in an old family album?
