The Emplins at Gamlingay

The Emplins is a lovely 15th century hall house, Grade II* listed. The house seems to have a link to the nearby St Mary's Church and is now open for bed and breakfast.

Moongate, Gamlingay Cinques

Look carefully, and you'll see a crumbling brick edifice behind the foliage. This is the ruin of an 18th-century (?) moongate in the grounds of the now-vanished Gamlingay Hall. The moongate was like a giant circular glassless window through which the full moon could be seen to picturesque advantage. Some believe that the structure was poorly sited and that a full moon would rarely if ever be visible through it. Still, it must have made an intriguing landscape feature, as it still does. A different angle can be seen here: TL2252 : Moongate detail, Gamlingay Cinques.

Moongate detail, Gamlingay Cinques

This is part of what's left of a ruined 18th-century (?) moongate in the grounds of the now-vanished Gamlingay Hall. The moongate was like a giant circular glassless window through which the full moon could be seen to picturesque advantage. (The circular shape can be clearly seen here.) Some believe that the structure was poorly sited and that a full moon would rarely if ever be visible through it. Still, it must have made an intriguing landscape feature, as it still does. A wider angle can be seen here: TL2252 : Moongate, Gamlingay Cinques.

View of Gamlingay Housing

Taken from Mill Hill, the shot shows the lie of the land over the Mill Brook and housing at Gamlingay, beyond. The trailer has a 3 digit phone number and must have stood in this location for many a year.
