The name Hinxton is a contraction of Hengestestun, "the town of Hengest".[2] The village of Hinxton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hestitona, as Hyngeston in the Ely Registers of 1341 and Hengestone in the Ramsey Chartulary. Its parish church is the medieval St Mary and St John Church. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinxton)

This six-hectare (15-acre) nature reserve has been specially created to provide a range of habitats for local plant and animal species. The reserve provides a natural flood-relief mechanism. By acting as a large sponge and storing rainwater during periods of heavy rainfall, the wetland reduces the likelihood of flooding downstream. The ponds are filled naturally so water levels fluctuate as the water table rises and falls.
