The village stands in the fens, 3 miles N of the Old West river, and 6½ SW of Ely r. station; and has a post office under Ely. The parish includes also the hamlets of Aldreth and Hill Row. Acres, 8, 912. Real property, £20, 047. ...

The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Ely. Value, £235. Patron, the Archdeacon of Ely. The church stands on a slight acclivity; is about three centuries old; has a lofty spire, visible for many miles; and was in 1865 in disrepair. A new burial ground was formed in 1862. There are chapels for Baptists and Wesleyans, and two free schools with £74 and £38; and one of the schools was rebuilt by subscription in 1863. The subdistrict contains also two other parishes.
