About Longstanton ...
Longstanton is a peaceful countryside village on the northern edge of Cambridge. Stretching just over 2 miles between Oakington and Willingham, the village boasts a rich and long historical heritage from Roman times, a wealth of ponds, paddocks, ancient fields, rural walking paths, woodland, two remarkable medieval churches and handsome period houses. The village has been expanding rapidly for the past 10 years into a vibrant and younger community. Longstanton welcomes new residents progressively settling in at the Home Farm housing development site north-west of the village.

Longstanton Village Sign
The village sign, erected at the entrance to The Dale in 1981 to mark the marriage of the Prince of Wales, features a golden hind - from the crest of the Hattons. The name of Sir Francis Drake's ship, in which he sailed around the world, was changed from the 'Pelican' to the 'Golden Hind' in recognition of the patronage of Sir Christopher Hatton, Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I, who was cousin to John Hatton, Lord of the Manor of All Saints.
