Haslingfield is a thriving village community in the heart of South Cambridgeshire with green fields and beautiful walks along the River Cam.
Our Recreation Park hosts the annual Scarecrow Festival, 'Rock on the Rec', a Skate Park and Tennis courts. Haslingfield is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England. The village is about six miles south-west of Cambridge, between Harston, Barton and Barrington.
'Haslingefeld' appears in the Domesday book with a population of 400, but there is archaeological evidence of people
living in the vicinity 3,000 years ago (an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered in the 1870s on Cantelupe Road). The population in the 2001 census was 1,550 people living in 621 households. The name Haslingfield is thought to be derived as follows: -field is an Anglo-Saxon suffix meaning cleared land in site of woods, while Hasling probably derives from the Haeslingas, a local band of people that lived here. The main streets in the village are called High Street and New Road which together form an approximate circle around the Tudor Manor House, built by Sir Thomas Wendy, Lord of the Manor. The church was consecrated in 1352, but the present chancel walls date from the 12th century. The village sign shows Queen Elizabeth I who stayed one night at the Manor in the year 1564. During her stay she is supposed to have lost a ring and a number of ring hunts have been held in recent times! The economy of the community has been based on farming for most of its existence. There was a short period of mining for coprolite, used to make fertilizer in the late 19th century. The Earl De La Warr sold his estates in Haslingfield to John Chivers who planted fruit for his jam-making factory in Histon.
