Papworth St Agnes

Posted by fluffhouse on 21 September 2008 in English.

Completed my first piece of proper GPS road mapping with the tiny village of Papworth St Agnes, one of a small handful on the todo list for South Cambs. Very pretty, though only two roads to map, plus phonebox, postbox, church and the start of a few footpaths.

Just down the road, one missing street needed to be added to nearby Graveley, which now looks road-complete to me. There's a network of tracks to the south-west of the village on the former airfield which I didn't explore. These are car-accessible but signposted as private. Suitably some people were flying a remote-controlled plane there today.

Well done; I'd been meaning to take a look at the village but hadn't got round to it due to various distractions. Any idea if "Toseland" (SW-ish of there) is a real village or just a named locality? Thanks for stubbing out the footpaths / bridleways; having stubs makes it much easier to see where further mapping is needed.

Did you know they have a good website for Papworth St Agnes? http://www.papworthstagnes.org.uk/

There is a little historical geographical info that could maybe be a little useful (esp under appropriate copyright, if they were agreeable) on there.

In a related vein, I was thinking of e-mailing the website contact for Eltisley to just say "Hey, you're on our map!" - had you considered doing that for PSA?

Anyhow, nice work. Cambridgeshire is getting to be amazingly well mapped.

Cheers,
Mark
