Welcome to Holme
Hulme, Holm (13th century) and Holme (Modern).
Holme, one of the Fenland villages, has lost a lake, which became
good plough-land nearly 200 years ago, but it still has Holme Wood,
all that is left of its old forest. It was in Denton Fen close by
that an Iron Post was driven through 22 feet of peat to the
underlying clay in 1852. When examined in 1932 it was found that the
peat had shrunk 10 feet, showing that the fens were losing their
rich mould and sinking a foot about every 10 years.
There is a fragment of an ancient cross by the road, a 17th century
cottage with beautiful Dutch gables, a group of thatched cottages
and a church only a lifetime old, though it altar table is four
centuries older and its arcades go back to the Normans.
Holme is one of the parishes of the District of
Huntingdonshire,
whose administrative centre is
Huntingdon, the other principle towns being
St Ives
home of the Chapel on the Bridge,
St Neots
the largest town in the County of Cambridgeshire, the Roman town of
Godmanchester and
Ramsey
site of the former Abbey.
