Ratty, Mole, Badger, Toad and Balsham!

The response from people who have purchased our book contines and we’ve been delighted to hear from people with pictures and stories of families who lived in Balsham in times past. We’ve had many requests to see if we can put flesh on the bones for people seeking information on their connection with Balsham. We help if it is possible.

It appears from a recent communication that during the early 1900’s whilst William and Ann Prince were living in London, Kenneth Grahame, author of Wind in the Willows was a close neighbour to them. The Prince family were residents of our village so maybe a few tales from the riverbank were shared!

You can read more about the Prince family in the book which is still available to buy in the village shops and online here. If you are a Cambridgeshire based business and you’d like to stock the book, please let us know.
