Thriplow Cricket Ground: new nets
New practice nets with all-weather wickets are taking shape in the top corner of this attractive ground. The pavilion is in the centre at the far end of the ground. Thriplow was always a good place to play, with fine teas.
Thriplow Cricket Ground
Looking towards the Fowlmere Road side of the ground. There is quite a pronounced slope down to the (far) Pavilion End. The square is roped off and looks well prepared for the coming season. March 22 2012 would have been a lovely day for cricket.
Thriplow: The Old Smithy and the green
The village sign - see TL4346 : Thriplow Village Sign, detail - has been removed from its maroon post and replaced by a photograph. The daffodils are looking good a few days after the village's 44th Annual Daffodil Weekend.

Eight miles to Cambridge
The Fowlmere to Cambridge Turnpike Road dates from 1724-25. It is marked by milestones which date from 1728 and are the work of William Warren, a Fellow of Trinity Hall College. They are thought to be the first milestones to have been erected in Britain since the Roman period. The white stripe on the horizon above the milestone is the chalky summit of Rowley's Hill, a mile and a half or so to the north - at 50m above sea level quite a landmark in these parts.

Fowlmere High Street in March
The north transept and porch of the parish church of St Mary are on the right. This was yet another of the bright and exceptionally warm days in the remarkable early spring of 2012.
Fowlmere: St Mary
"A sizeable cruciform church of flint and pebble rubble, much restored in 1869" (Nikolaus Pevsner). Unusually there is no south aisle. Towers with lead-covered spikes are standard issue in this part of Cambridgeshire (see, for instance, Thriplow and Haslingfield). The picture was taken from the gate at the south-western corner of the churchyard on a bright March morning.
