Unsurprisingly, Armistice Day in Cambridge in November 1918 was as raucous an affair as elsewhere. The Cambridge Chronicle reported:
The news reached Cambridge about 11 o’clock, and spread like wildfire. The first signal was given by the hoisting of the Union Jack at the Town Hall [now the Guildhall], and the churches and colleges quickly followed suit in setting joy-bunting floating. In a few moments youngsters were shrilly cheering in the streets … With feverish speed all Cambridge hung out bunting, and women and children bedecked themselves with miniatures flags or trappings of red, white and blue.
An effigy of the Kaiser was paraded around the town. Unfortunately the bells of Great St. Mary’s failed to ring because a group of over-enthusiastic youths damaged them, but there was no such problem in Haslingfield. The bells there rang for two hours from noon.
During the whole of November, the Little Rose Pub is offering 20% off all meals Monday to Saturday.

The planning application by Cemex to build up to 220 houses on the site of the Barrington cement works is now in. You can see the details on the South Cambridgeshire District Council website here:
Some likely lads recently stole a large section of tree trunk from a bank in the Glebe Wood opposite the parish church. In the spirit of village togetherness let’s hope it went towards keeping their dear old mother warm as winter draws on. But we hope that the habit will not spread. The management plan for this bit of woodland includes felling the occasional wild damson tree to make room for planting a variety of species, and we use the timber to edge the footpath. Anything ‘just lying there’ has a purpose and is not surplus to requirements.
