Thriplow Village

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.

 

 

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.
