The Cottenham Village Society was formed in late 1970, its aims being:
- to stimulate public interest in and care for the beauty, history and character of the village and its surroundings
- to encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historic value
- to encourage high standards of architecture and village planning in the Parish of Cottenham and also by supporting other village groups
- to pursue those ends by means of meetings, exhibitions, lectures and promotion of schemes of a charitable nature
Cottenham in Focus wins Local History Award
The Cottenham Village Society was very pleased to receive an award for its recent publication Cottenham in Focus at the Celebration of Local History at Landbeach Village Hall on 10 May. Our publication was voted 'best book' for the year by Cambridgeshire Local History Society.
We would like to extend our thanks to everyone in Cottenham who helped us with Cottenham in Focus. We were offered so much help and encouragement, and so many more interesting stories are coming to light, that we feel we could fill another volume!
