We hope you enjoy looking at our site and please use the new email address below to send us scanned pictures of the village or its residents with any documentation you may have that relates to Cherry Hinton and we will endeavour to put them on the site for all to enjoy for evermore.

Our village sign is a Cherry Tree bearing a quartered shield showing Cherry Hinton activities. Top left shows a steam ploughing engine once used by local farmers; bottom left shows how the village also provided a washing service to the Cambridge colleges. Bottom right is the village church of St Andrew's and top right reminds us that the Saffron Crocus was once grown here. The lines down the middle represent the High Street and in the very centre you will find the railway barriers with the railway line represented as trackways across the centre of the shield.
