New street names

Remember Ailwyn's Acre? One of the most distinctive street names in Cranfield, thought up by Dr Margaret Rooney a former parish councillor. Ailwyn is one of the first historical figures recorded in connection with Cranfield, in the 11th century. After a nasty, life threatening  illness and prayers to the Almighty he survived and in gratitude made a gift of Cranfield which he owned to Ramsay Abbey in Cambridge. Ramsay Abbey was then the landlord of the village until Henry VIII had other ideas.

Now we need five new street names for the first phase of  the Home Farm development so its time for thinking caps and a look around the historical records, old maps and geographical features. All suggestions to the parish council clerk Rosie Davy-Hunt at cranfieldpc@btconnect.com by 2 Feb.
