I had no idea that Burwell had its own website! I used to live in Toyse Lane and went to Burwell Village college many years ago. Some people might recognise my surname and my association with a certain Judo instructor in the Village! regards, Colin E.

E.T.I. has come to the U.K.! Anyone interested in finding out about this great home based business opportunity should send an e-mail to: excelti@usa.net

Great site. Shame about those who couldn't leave a constructive comment in the Visitors' Book. I lived in Reach Road from 1963 to 1997 and attended the Ness Road Primary School (now sadly gone) and the Village College (once the Secondary Modern School). Anyone who attended these schools, remembers me and would like to email me would be welcome. Cheers.

I Like the childrens pictures from the school

WOW!! WONDER IF MY FAMILY STARTED HERE!

I too left Burwell in the mid Seventies to live in Indonesia, returned only for a few months before leaving again. Burwell was the best place to grow up - the cow's field, quarry, hollow tree etc - fond memories. Great site !

Us again, thought we should include our e-mail address in case anyone wants to keep in touch with us, we are always interested in burwell and Cambridge news!

Wow! what a great website, especially interesting to ex-Burwellians. We left Burwell in October 1998 and emigrated to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada having lived in the village for 33 wonderful years and where our daughters were born and raised. We have very fond memories of friend and neighbours who we hope to see again very soon as we are returning next week to arrange the sale of our house in Spring Close. Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Very interesting site, does anyone know if there is a Burwell coat of arms ? I was told there was and would really like to get my hands on it. please email me if you have any info regarding this... or anything else i guess.. And this is a big hello from a Burwell in canada (-:

Its brill!

Hello to anyone who remembers me. I left Burwell in July 1997 and now living in Bolton Lancs. Just after any gossip on the cricket, or if anyone wants to keep in touch.

Is this where I'm from?

its very interesting

I would like to say hello to my two beautiful kids,Kelly and Craig. If you read this or someone tells you about it know I do think about you every day. I'm disabled now,due to a lorry doing a u-turn in my path on the moterway. Bye LOVE YOU!!!!!

For more info on the Museum(including special events)look out for our leaflet in local shops,libraries,tourist info centres etc. or phone the Museum Information Line on 01638 605544.(The Info Line will start running within the next few weeks)

My mum and dad, Bert and Gwen Martin and I (Paula) left Burwell in 1952 to come to New Zealand. They are still alive and kicking, and send greetings to anyone who remembers that" good looking young couple" who lived next door to Dot Grainger in the High Street! We have also been in touch with the Mitchell family, who now live in Tauranga, New Zealand through the Burwell website. Dad's brother, Arthur Martin, is also living in Auckland New Zealand. They are the sons of Florence Warren whose family lived at the Old Brickyard. Does anyone remember us? We'd love an email! Are there any Warrens who may have family history we could tap into....we're interested to know more about a particular branch of the family who may have connections to the descendants of Fletcher Christian, (That well-known Bounty Mutineer). Any clues?

Just a quick message to let you know that junior cricket coaching starts at the cricket field on Friday 28th April from 18:30 to 20:00. Hope to see you all there.

A message to Bill & Gretta Mitchell Please contact me on e-mail sally.harrison@ntlworld.com Thanks

My husband and I are happy with this website about the town where his ancestors came from and where we visited at the Five Bells Tavern a couple of years ago. Hoping to return this fall to do some more family research.

Hello to all my fans!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great web site!! I liked looking at the BVC pupils drawings, particularly year 1.

I DONT THINK WE SHOUD GO TO SCHOOL

I DONT THINK WE SHOUD GO TO SCHOOL

Well it works for me, please let me know if you encounter any problems. Thanks.

Sorry, just testing this stupid guestbook again!

Can you help?
At approx 9.45pm on Tuesday 1st Feb, a white car used my driveway in Spring Close to turn round. In the process they hit the rear of my car hard enough to cause approx 500 pounds of damage. They also left a considerable amount of what appears to be headlamp glass behind. Needless to say the driver reveresed and headed off away from the church at high speed, and I was not able to get any other details. If you know of a white car which has suffered damage to its front lights (probably drivers side) on or around 1st Feb then please contact me at the above email address.
Please also spread this request for help among your friends in Burwell - remember that next time this driver may pick your drive!

Sorry about the guestbook problems, my ISP decided to pull the rug out from under my feet and removed some scripts without telling.

Used to live in Soham, now in Canada. Correspond with Jean Driver, (wife of Claude Driver). He was from Burwell. They are now in Ontario. They also know John Martin of Soham, and I also write to him Bet Burwell has changed since I was last there, about 1940, or 41, Good luck on the site. Alex

If anyone knows how to reach Janet Taylor or her family contact me in the USA. I'm her ex-husband and have two children, Craig and Kelly. I've been in hospital for 1 year after being ran over by a lorry doing an illegal u-turn in the motorway. I would very much like to get in contact with them.

I have been checking the web site of my 'home town' of Bourne in Lincolnshire for some months, and love catching up on the news. I can now do this for my new home, maybe I'll find someone I know out there on the ether. Keep up the good work.

Used to collect eggs for Sainsbury's around Burwell, many years ago, in the early 1950's in fact. Have many memories of being invited in for a cup of tea by a number of my customers. Now living in Florida, and enjoying all that sunshine.

I left Burwell Sept 1998, coming back June 2000. This Yank looks forward to returning

Great to see this site on-line! Will certainly link to it from Ely On-Line. Burwell has a great history - and figures strongly in the Hereward The Wake story.....well done Neil and Sal...

It is a really good idea for a web page there should be more community orientated stuff like this out there.

We left Burwell with our family 33 years ago to live in New Zealand. Went back in 1990 for a brief visit . Now retired. Amazed to find this website !!

Lovely website - keep on trucking.

I paid a very brief visit to Burwell in June, and was very impressed by all it has to offer the community. I am even more impressed now I have seen your Website!Good luck!Mary Hunter
