West Wratting

The parish covers 3,543 acres in south east Cambridge, a thin strip, less than two miles wide, stretching from the London to Newmarket road to the border with Suffolk.Towards the end of World War II an airfield was set up outside the village at RAF Wratting Common, and part of No.Listed as Wreattinge in the 10th century and Waratinge in the Domesday Book, the village's name means "place where crosswort or hellebore grows".The present building consists of a chancel with north vestry, clerestoried nave with south porch, and west tower.[3] The church has a keen band of bell ringers who meet for practice on Thursday evening and ring for services on Sunday.
