About Romsey Town
Where to stay in Romsey Town
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Small streets run out along Newmarket Road, and the beds follow them. Guests who come for the Centre for Computing History or an afternoon inside The David Parr House will find guest rooms in the terraces rather than a hotel front desk on every corner. Abbey House sits at the other end.
Stays near the Church of St Paul and St Matthew's Church put the visitor among ordinary streets, with Owen Webb House a few turns away.

Two museums carry the district. The Cambridge Museum of Technology and the Centre for Computing History sit within reach of The David Parr House, which carries its own entry on the list. Churches mark the rest, among them the Church of Christ Church and the Church of St Paul.
Abbey House and Owen Webb House complete it.
What is the history of Romsey Town?
The list is mostly churches. Church of St Andrew the Less, St Matthew's Church and the Church of St Paul stand as the parish record of Romsey Town, while Abbey House carries the domestic side of the same centuries. Newmarket Road brought the traffic and the trades.
Later came the machinery kept by the Cambridge Museum of Technology and the computers gathered at the Centre for Computing History. St Martin appears on the same record.
