Impington
Over time, dukes have gone off to help prevent the Danes from invading, while William I sorted out an argument over the town (then 'Epintone') between the Norman Sheriff of Cambridge and the Church.[9] The first area of settlement in the village was to the extreme south of the current village, close to current road junction of the Cambridge and Kings Hedges Road (once called Arbury camp, this land has now been developed as part of the large Orchard Park housing development).There was a large Iron Age fort here that was built by the Iceni to defend against the invading Celts;[9] this was later occupied by the Romans.Just before this time, Picot, the Norman sheriff of Cambridge, was ordered by a writ of William I to hand back 3 hides of Impington that had been stolen, by now the main centre of the village appears to have been around the church area present-day Burgoynes Road.[11] Manor Place Part, ultimately reverting to the name Burgoynes, came after the deaths of Margaret in 1529 and George in 1530 to their daughters Alice, Mary, and Anne.Burgoynes Farm north of the church, occasionally called a manor house, was rebuilt in the mid 19th century.This remained until 1962 when it was demolished in order to make way for Bridge Road,[15] The county council decided to build a new nursery school.[17] The new junior school was built on the village green and was at first just four classrooms, two for each of years 3 and 4 (ages 9–11), when the first pupils attended.The college was designed by Walter Gropius, founder of The Bauhaus School of Architecture, and his partner Maxwell Fry.In February 1799, a local woman named Elizabeth Woodcock became a nationwide sensation after she survived for eight days buried in snow after a blizzard.
