The church was, according to
legend, going to be built at the
bottom of the village until the
'Devil' interfered and took the
building materials to its present
less than convenient location on
top of the hill above the village
where it sits close to the ancient
burial mound - 'Trippa's' burial
mound

Thriplow is a quiet village in South
Cambridgeshire. Set just 8 miles south of
Cambridge and close to the M11 and A14.

Since Romano-British times (circa A.D.150),
through Anglo-Saxon settlement and the Lordship
of Trippa (whose burial mound or "law" may have
given the village its name), the installation of the
first vicar, John de Hyndrayngham in 1299, the
mutilation of the church screen under Dowsing in
1643, the 19th century enclosures and 20th
century robbery and murder, Thriplow has
remained relatively quiet.

The village celebrates 'Daffodil Weekend' each
year around early April complete with Morris
Dancers, etc. This tradition began around 1969 to
raise money to repair Thriplow Church. People
visit from all over the UK and abroad to take part
in this event.
