Cherry Hinton Hall and the Church of St Andrew give Cherry Hinton its two fixed points inside Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire.
About Cherry Hinton
Where to stay in Cherry Hinton
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The hall is the reason to look out here. Cherry Hinton holds its own name as a ward of Cambridge, so a room here puts the Church of St Andrew and Cherry Hinton Hall within the ward itself while the centre takes a journey. Most beds are in Cambridge.
Visitors who want Cambridgeshire's wider country as well as the city often split the difference and take a base out here rather than in the middle.
About Cherry Hinton
What are the main landmarks in Cherry Hinton?
Only two buildings are named. Cherry Hinton Hall carries the district's own name, and the Church of St Andrew is recorded under it as well, which makes the pair the whole of what Cherry Hinton offers a visitor working from a list. Cambridge holds everything else.
Anything beyond those two names belongs to Cambridge and the wider county of Cambridgeshire rather than to the ward itself.
What is the history of Cherry Hinton?
The record here is a village record. Cherry Hinton is set down as a village as well as an electoral ward of Cambridge, in the county of Cambridgeshire, and that double description is the clearest thing the sources fix about it. St Andrew keeps the dedication.
The Church of St Andrew and Cherry Hinton Hall are the buildings the name attaches to, and no founding date is recorded for the village itself.
Where is Cherry Hinton?
Cambridgeshire is the county around it. Cherry Hinton lies within Cambridge itself, a village name that the record still carries beside its electoral ward.
