Horseheath: high ground on the Suffolk border
Horseheath’s eastern edge is the boundary with Suffolk, and the Victoria County History describes it as Cambridgeshire’s highest parish. The A1307 runs through the south of the village, with Sherwood Green to the east and All Saints Church just to the north of the main road.
All Saints has a 15th-century nave and oak screen, with monuments to the Alington family. Their Horseheath Hall hosted Elizabeth I in 1578 and was later demolished, and its iron gates now stand at Trinity and St John’s colleges in Cambridge. The village also has a racing story: the 1834 Derby winner was trained at Horseheath Lodge.
