Papworth Everard

Running through its centre is Ermine Street, the old North Road (now the A1198) and the Roman highway that for centuries served as a major artery from London to York.Today, Papworth Everard is a large village with a thriving community, home to substantial light industry and local business.It was at least another two or three centuries before a Saxon leader, probably called 'Papa', established a small settlement about a quarter of a mile to the west of Ermine Street around the site of the present parish church.The village also has an open-air paddling pool (usually open mid-July to September) in its well equipped children's play area.Papworth Everard is served by a variety of local services, primarily based in the central location of Pendrill Court, between Chequers Lane and Ermine Street.
