Lower Caldecote
Dendrochronological (tree ringing) analysis dated a sequence of pits containing hurdles to the late Saxo-Norman period.[4] Lower Caldecote lies within the Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands (NCA 88) as designated by Natural England.[5] Central Bedfordshire Council has locally classified the landscape as Lower Ivel Clay Valley.Alongside the Ivel around Manor Farm, sand and gravel quarrying from the mid 1980s onwards has left a number of lakes.[8] Lynton Cottages (built 1902) and York House (1904) directly front the A1 northbound carriageway but the remainder of the hamlet was bypassed in 1960/61.
