Author Description

This volume appeared when Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely were separate administrative counties; they were later briefly combined (1965 - 74) as the Administrative County of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely, and then in 1974 were joined by Huntingdonshire and the Soke of Peterborough to form the present non Metropolitan County of Cambridgeshire Many place-names within the present county will have to be sought, therefore, elsewhere in the Survey (Vols. III and X). An appendix gives a summary account of the names of parishes transferred from Essex in 1895 and already treated in Vol. XII. A county map, showing parish and hundred boundaries, and two distribution maps are contained in an end-pocket.
