Hamlets in Cambridgeshire

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 1 min


A page for hamlets in the English ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire (incorporating the old counties of the Isle of Ely and Huntingdonshire, plus part of the old Soke of Peterborough.

While "hamlet" is loosely defined, the places in this category are either settlements with tiny populations that are consequentially part of combined civil parishes or historically attached to a nearby village, places self-defined as "hamlets" by their inhabitants or local government, and places named after roads or crossings around which small named settlements have formed. The presence of a historic church in some older villages means that although they may now be smaller than some hamlets, their historic definition as a village still stands.
