Madingley

[1] The village was known as Madingelei in the Domesday Book of 1086, a name meaning "Woodland clearing of the family or followers of a man called Mada".The village is home to Madingley Hall, which was built by Sir John Hynde in 1543[3] and occupied as a residence by his descendants until the 1860s.His daughter Rosamond Harding, notable musicologist and music historian, lived there for 20 years until her late father's trust sold it to the university.In addition to its extensive English gardens, the Madingley Hall estate includes 1150 acres of countryside which are maintained by the university.The entire 30½ acres used for the American Cemetery and Memorial were donated to the United States government by the University of Cambridge following World War II.= [7] The village's former public house, The Three Horseshoes, is now a restaurant though it still has a bar that serves beer.
