The Chesterfords

Great Chesterford is an ancient village with many listed buildings and is situated on the banks of the River Cam just over the Cambridgeshire border in the Uttlesford district of Essex. The All Saints Church dates from the 13th century and the primary school there was licensed in 1514.

Little Chesterford is a short walk away along a footpath running parallel to the River Cam. Basically two rows of (nice) houses along the a road which bends up to the B184 (which links Sawston and Saffron Walden), the heart of the village is a grouping of the church of St Mary (early 13th century), the tiny village hall and a manor house.

The footpath that runs south from the church takes us along the Cam again before turning up to the B184 and the tiny hamlet of Springwell, literally a few houses and a large nursery now.Baca lagi
