Thriplow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thriplow is a quiet village situated 8 miles south of Cambridge, England. Each year it celebrates 'Daffodil Weekend'. The tradition started in 1969 in an attempt to raise money for repairing the church and the village has been opened every year since.

[edit] History of Thriplow

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.
