Historical Description
HUNTINGDONSHIRE, or Hunts, is an inland shire in the East Lowlands, near the arm of the sea called the Wash: it is very small, only Middlesex and Rutland being smaller, and Rutland only having fewer inhabitants: the shire takes its name from the town of Huntingdon: the length from north to south is nearly 30 miles, and from east to west 23: the shape is something like a lozenge: it is bounded on the north-west and north by Northamptonshire, on the north-east and east and south-east by Cambridgeshire and on the south-west by Bedfordshire. The number of acres was 234,218: under the “Local Government Act,” of 1888, by transfer of Swineshead to Beds, and of Tilbrook from Beds to Huntingdonshire, likewise parts of Luddington, Lutton and Thurning added to Northants, and of Winwick from Northants to Hunts, together with the transfer of part of Pap worth St. Agnes to Cambridgeshire, and of part of the Soke of Peterborough to Northants, making the present area 233.977. The population in 1831 was 53,192; in 1841, 58,594; in 1851, 64,183; in 1861, 64,250; in 1871, 63,708; in 1881, 59,491 and in 1891, 57,761; viz. males, 28,419 and females 29,342. The number of houses were, inhabited, 13,217; uninhabited, 1,186; and building, 29.
This shire formed the western part of the territory of the Iceni, The Romans, having taken the country, long held it as part of the province of Flavia Caesariensis; they seem to have had stations called Durolipons at Godmanchester and Durobrivae at Water Newton, on the Nene; at Chesterton was a camp. Their great roads, the Ermine street and Via Devana, passed through the county, the first from Barkway and Royston in Herts, and the second from Cambridge, the two uniting at Godmanchester south of the town of Huntingdon; the Ermine street crosses the Icknield way at Royston. The Romans having left, the East English took it from the Welsh, but afterwards the Mid-English held it till it became part of the kingdom of England The earldom was one of the chief under the early kings; it is still held by the family of Hastings. There were two great abbeys, Ramsey and Sawtry St. Judith, and castles at Kimbolton and Huntingdon. Alwalton, Comington, Hartford and Leighton Bromswold churches have remains of Norman building.
The south-eastern part of the shire, which rises into small hills, is mainly iron-sand, the middle Oxford clay, the north-eastern fen land, and the northern stone brash, so that Huntingdonshire belongs mostly to the oolite and those soils nearly akin. In the higher parts the air is good, but in the fen lands it is damp, and fogs are frequent; it is, however, adapted to husbandry. The soil is of many kinds, some inferior, but by care it is made to bear good crops, and the fens, after drainage, yield very largely. A great deal of land is laid down for grazing, and the meadows feed many fat cattle. The land in the fens grows many willows, but otherwise it is mostly bare of trees. In the upland, corn is grown. Huntingdonshire produces forest marble, peat turf, wheat, barley, beans, turnips, rape, hay, clover, mustard, cattle, sheep, hogs, waterfowl and eels. The people are mostly engaged in agricultural pursuits; few handicrafts are carried on these are chiefly brick and tile making, paper making, parchment making, brewing, malting, currying and tanning, ironfounding, lace making and printing, some few parsons being employed in madder making, lime burning, rush work &c.
The northern part of the shire is chiefly fen, and belongs to the valley of the Nene; the southern is higher land, belonging to the basin of the Ouse. The chief hills are a range on the right bank of the Ouse, running from Potton to near Huntingdon, a branch of the Cambridgeshire hills and some others on the southern bank of the Nene, and there is a small range north of Huntingdon by Stukeley and Upton. The Ouse comes into the shire at the south, passes St. Neots, where a brook flows in from Eynesbury and another from Kimbolton and a little further another from Diddington. The Ouse next passes north to Huntingdon, where it takes the waters of two brooks from the west and north-west, thence passing east by St. Ives, on its way to the Wash: it is navigable by large boats in its whole course throughout the shire, and as high up as Bedford: the haven at its mouth is Lynn, which is the great shipping place for the Fen counties. The Nene, or Nen, winds along the north border of the shire by Peterborough, and will bear large boats; its chief haven is Wisbech, in Cambridgeshire. The Fen lands are crossed by several streams, cuts, drains and meres, many of which are navigable by boats; these cuts likewise connect the rivers Nene and Ouse, so that the whole of the east of the shire has a good water-way throughout. Notwithstanding the streams and meres, the inhabitants of many parts are very badly off for water, which, for want of springs, they draw from ponds and wells, and is far from being good. Very much of the fen land has within a few years been thoroughly drained and brought into cultivation: it is generally very productive and repays the expense of draining.
The once celebrated Whittlesea mere has been entirely drained, as have also Ramsey and Ugg meres.
Railways.-The main line of the Great Northern Co. enters the county close to St. Neots, and passing through Huntingdon, runs direct north to Peterborough, via Holme, whence there is a branch to Ramsey. The Great Eastern line runs from Cambridge to St. Ives, and thence to Huntingdon, and has another line from St. Ives to March Junction with a branch from Somersham to Ramsey, and its direct line from March to Peterborough touches the north of the county. The Midland railway runs from Huntingdon to Godmanchester, and then turning to the west, passes by Kimbolton to Thrapston, whence lines lead to Northampton and Leicester. The London and North-Western Company’s line to Peterborough runs across the north-west angle of the county. The coach roads, including the Great North road through Huntingdon, Sawlney and Naxley, are many and good.
The county contains 104 civil parishes and parts of 4 others, and is in the province of Canterbury, diocese of Ely, and is an archdeaconry, which is sub-divided in the rural deaneries of Huntingdon, Kimbolton, Leightonstone, St. Ives, St. Neots and Yaxley. It is in the South Eastern circuit, and Huntingdon is the shire town, where the assizes are held. The county has one court of quarter sessions, and is divided into five petty sessional divisions. As the shire is so small it is joined by Cambridgeshire in the shrievalty, the two having only one sheriff. The chief town is Huntingdon, which is a municipal borough, with 4,346 people in 1891, in the middle of the shire, on the Ouse. Godmanchester and Stives are also municipal boroughs; population of Godmanchester, 2,095, St. Ives, 3,037; Ramsey, with 4,684 inhabitants, and St. Neots, with 2,962, are market towns. Kimbolton is also a market town, with a castle, the seat of the Duke of Manchester, population 993; and Yaxley, population 1,304, is a small town near Norman Cross, which had formerly a market.
Huntingdonshire has four hundreds: —
Norman Cross, to the north;
Hurstingstone (Ramsey and St. Ives), to the east;
Leightonstone (Kimbolton), to the west;
Toseland (St. Neots), to the south.

Huntingdon County Council
Local Government Act, 1888, 51 & 52 Vic. c. 41.
Under the above Act, the county of Huntingdon, after the 1st April, 1889, became, for the purposes of that Act, an administrative county (sec. 46), governed by a County Council, consisting of chairman, aldermen and councillors elected in manner prescribed by the Act (sec. 2).
The chairman, by virtue of his office, is a justice of the peace for the county, without qualification (sec. 46).
The police for the county are under the control of a standing joint committee of the Quarter Sessions and the County Council appointed as therein mentioned (sec. 9).
The coroners for the county are elected by the County Council, and the clerk of the peace appointed by such joint committee, and may be removed by them (sec. 83—2).
The clerk of the peace for the county is also clerk of the County Council (sec. 83—1).
The administrative business of the county (which would, if this Act had not been passed, have been transacted by the justices) is now transacted by the County Council.
SITUATION, BOUNDARIES, EXTENT, SOIL, AND CLIMATE
Huntingdonshire is an inland county, being bounded on the north by the counties of Northampton and Cambridge; on the east by Cambridgeshire; on the south by Bedfordshire, and on the west by Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. In shape it is very irregular, and extends in length from north to south about 26 miles, and 20 from east to west; its circumference being about 76 miles; it is reckoned to contain 220,800 statute acres of land.
The face of this county may be said to have three varieties; on the borders of the Ouse is a rich tract of fertile meadows, of which Portholm Mead, near Huntingdon, enclosed by a band of the river, is particularly celebrated. The middle and western parts are finely varied with corn and woodlands, and the upland parts were anciently an extensive forest, well adapted for the chase. The northeastern parts consist of fens, the whole of which may be computed at one fifth of the county; these fens join those of Ely, and form a large proportion of the great Bedford Level, part of them are tolerably drained, and afford good pasturage, and in the midst of them are some shallow pools abounding with fish.
The air, in consequence of the fenny land and meers, is considered as unwholesome, especially towards the north part of the county.
NAME AND ANCIENT HISTORY
This county takes its name from Huntingdon, its principal town, which is derived from the Saxon word, Huntedunscire, signifying Hunter's down; this district being at that time well adapted for the sport of hunting, as it was almost one continued forest.
Previous to the arrival of Julius Cæsar, Huntingdonshire, with the adjacent counties of Cambridge, Norfolk, and Suffolk, were inhabited by the Certain ini or Cenemagni, who composed the extensive territory of the Iceni, a powerful British tribe, whose name was derived from the wedge-like form of their country; a wedge, in the Britishlanguage beingtermed Iken. Sir H. Spelman however deduces the name from the river Ise or Ouse, which the Britons are said to have called lchen. Baxter supposes it to have been derived from Uic or Union, i. e. brave men; but Whitaker says that “the genuine and proper name was Ceni, Y-ce-ni, or Cen-om-es, the Headones; and the appellations of Cenimagni, Cenimnnni, Caromunni, signify only the head-men; man being equally a British and Saxon word, and retained to this day in the Erse.”
The Iceni are represented by Tacitus as a brave nation, who having formed an alliance with the Romans at a very early period, remained undisturbed by war till the time of Claudius, when the Proprietor Ostorius fortifying the rivers, and disarming the Britons, the Iceni a sembled in great force to oppose him: their undisciplined bravery, however, proved of little avail against Roman weapons, and Roman discipline; so that after a sanguinary conflict, they were defeated with great loss, and were obliged to submit to the harsh terms proposed by their conqueror; but 13 years afterwards, being exasperated by new oppressions, combined with atrocities still more galling, the Iceni had again recourse to arms. The death of Prasutagus, their King, and the impolitic arrangements of his will, by which he appointed the Emperor Nero his heir, thinking that he should thus secure his family and kingdom from ruin, furnished the Romans with a pretext for coercive measures, and with the most insulting rapacity the native chiefs were deprived of their estates, the whole kingdom of the Iceni was pillaged by the centurions, and the house of Prasutagus by slaves, as if it had been taken in war. His widow, the brave Boadicea was ignominiously scourged, and her daughters were violated by the Roman officers. Provoked at this treatment, and the fear of worse, if the nation should be reduced to a province, they took up arms, in conjunction with the Trinobanti, and other nations, not yet accustomed to slavery. In this exterminating war Boadicea cut off 80,000 Romans and their allies, and destroyed the colony of Camalodunum, (Colchester) and the Municium of Verulam, (St. Alban’s) routed the ninth legion, and defeated Caius Decianus, the procurator; the inhabitants of London were likewise massacred with unsparing fury, in consequence of their being in alliance with the Romans. Suetonius Paulinus, the Roman general, was in Anglesea at the commencement of the insurrection, but immediately marched to arrest the progress of the foe, whose number had increased to near 300,000 men. The utmost that he could oppose to this immense forge was an army of scarcely 10,000; but these were veteran soldiers, accustomed to victory, and regardless of every thing except the disgrace of discomfiture. With this intrepid band, Paulinus awaited the threatened attack, in a spot encircled with woods, narrow at the entrance, and sheltered in the rear by a thick forest, the enemy being extended over an open plain, in his front. The sanguinary conflict terminated in the total defeat of the Britons, who, flushed by their former success, fought in such tumultuous disorder, that their numbers tended only to their own destruction. “The glory of the day (says Tacitus) was equal to the most splendid victory of ancient times. The waggons in the rear of the Britons obstructed their flight: a dreadful slaughter followed. Neither sex nor age was spared; and the cattle falling in one promiscuous carnage, added to the heaps of the slain.” The pursuit having ceased, the British chiefs endeavoured to collect their scattered troops, and for some time kept the field, but were fearful of again contending with the Roman power. Boadicea, with unbroken spirit, put at end to her life by poison, according to Tacitus; though according to Dio, she died of illness.
From this period history is silent as to the annals of the Iceni as a separate nation. The counties they inhabited were included by the Romans in the division, called Flavin Cæsarien is, but were formed by the Saxons into a distinct kingdom, and named East Anglia, at which time the county of Huntingdon was called Huntedunescyre, and Huntandunescyrc. It was afterwards, however, subjugated by the Mercian sovereigns, and continued under their dominion till the union of the Saxon states into one monarchy under Egbert. “In the decline of the Saxon government (says Camden) this county had an officiary earl (named) Siward; for earldoms were yet hereditary in England, but the governors of shires were, according to the custom of that period, called Earls, with the additional title of the shires they presided over; as this Siward, while governor here, was called Earl of Huntingdon; but afterwards having the government of Northumberland conferred on him was called Earl of Northumberland”
When Henry I. married Matilda, the daughter of Malcolm Canmore, king of Scotland, her brother Edgar was. in possession of the three northern counties; but David, brother to the queen, having married the widow of Simon de-Liz, earl of Huntingdon, Henry gave his kinsman this county, as being most likely to prevent the king of Scotland from making incursions into England during the time that Henry was at war with the French; but on Stephen de Blois usurping the crown of England, David, according to the oath be had taken to support the empress Matilda, his niece, whose right it was to succeed her father Henry on the English throne, invaded England with a powerful army, his son Henry also assisting the empress in person. T his enraged Stephen to such a degree, that he seized on the earldom of Huntingdon, and gave it to one of his favourites; but Henry, prince of Scotland, obtained possession of it from Stephen of York, and kept it till his death in the year 1152.
On Henry the Second’s arrival in England, David king of Scotland conferred upon him the honour of knighthood at Carlisle, and obtained a grant of this earldom for his grandson Malcolm; and it was also held by his other grandson William, who gave it to his brother David.
Richard I. confirmed David by patent in the whole right of this county, and from him, by the female line, Robert Bruce, king of Scotland, was descended, whose daughter Margaret, married Walter Stuart, a powerful Scotch lord. From her descended the royal family of Stuart, and by the marriage of the princess Elizabeth to the king of Bohemia, the present august family came to the throne of Great Britain.
Since the reign of Edward III. the earldom of Huntingdon has been in the possession of the Clintons, de Grays, the Hollands, and the Hastings; in the latter family it continued till the decease of Francis, tenth and last earl of this family, in the year 1789, when the title became extinct.
POPULATION, &c
The papulation of this county, consisted, according to the late returns of 37,563 inhabitants, viz, 18,521 males, and 19,047 females; of whom 9,536 were returned as being employed in agriculture; and 4,484 in trade, manufacture, or handicraft. Huntingdonshire returns four members to parliament; viz. two for the county, and two for the town of Huntingdon.
RIVERS, &c
The principal rivers of this county are the Nen, or Nene; and the Ouse.
The Nen rises in Northamptonshire, and after flowing through a delighful vale, reaches Huntingdonshire near Elton, where it becomes the boundary between the two counties, and meandering to the north, passes Yarwell and Wandsford, and after winding to the east through a more level country, it pursues a devious course to Peterborough, below which it sinks into the Fens, and winds slowly onward to the German Ocean, into which it falls, near Wisbeach.
T he Ouse rises near Brackly in Northamptonshire and after passing by Buckingham, Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnel, Olney, and Bedford, enters this county between St. Neot’s and Little Paxton, and in its northern course towards Huntingdon is increased by a combination of small streams from the north-west. Having passed that town, it assumes an easterly direction, and flowing by the west end of St. Ives, becomes, near Holywell, the boundary between this county and Cambridgeshire, till it enters the Great Level of the Fens in the neighbourhood of Frith, and from thence falls into the German Sea, a little below Lynn, in Norfolk. This river is navigable along its whole line across this county.
Several smaller streams water the north-east side of this county, together with several large meres or pools of water; of these Whittlesea Mere is by far the largest, covering an area of several miles extent, being about five miles in length, and between two and three in breadth. “This clear lake (says Camden) extends itself in a very fenny part of the county; but the inhabitants reckon that the thickness of the air is compensated by the advantages of the fishery, the plentiful pasturage, and the quantity of turf so fit for firing. King Canute ordered the fen to be parcelled out among the several towns upon it by Turkill the Dane, who divided it in such a manner that each town had firm land abutting on the opposite fen. He ordained that no township should dig or mow without leave in the fen belonging to another, and that they should all have a common right of pasturage, i. e. horn under horn, in order to maintain peace and harmony among them.” This mere is frequently agitated in a violent manner as if by a tempest, and Holland says, “it doth sometimes, in calms and faire weather, sodainly rise tempestuously, as it were, into violent water-quakes, to the danger of the poore fishermen, by reason, as some thinke, of evaporations breaking violently out of the bowels of the earthe.“
“When the sons and servants of Canute, sent from Peterborough to Ramsey, were crossing this lake, a most violent storm arose, with a whirlwind, as they were cheerfully sailing along, amusing themselves with singing, and enveloped them on every side, so that they absolutely despaired of their lives, as well as of assistance. But the mercy of the Almighty did not quite fail them, nor suffer the dreadful gulph to swallow them up; but mercifully, from his providence, delivered some of them from those raging waves, and permitted the rest, according to the secret workings of his righteous judgment, to pass out of this frail life in the midst of those waves. When the report of this danger reached the king’s ears, fear and trembling laid hold on him; but after he had recovered himself, by the advice of his nobles and friends, to prevent, for the future, the misfortunes occasioned by this raging element, he caused a dyke to be marked out by his soldiers and servants in the adjoining marshes between Ramsey and Whittlesea, and afterwards to be cleared by labourers; whence, as we learn by the credible testimony of our predecessors, some of the neighbouring inhabitants gave that dyke the name of Swerdesdelf, from its having been marked out with swords.” (Hist. Eliensis).
This dyke is now commonly called Steed's Dyke, and is accounted the boundary between this county and Cambridgeshire.
Whittlesea Mere affords excellent sailing and fishing, and is in the summer season much frequented by parties of pleasure. Some ideas of draining it have been entertained, and the scheme is not deemed impracticable, though it is opposed by many persons from an unwillingness of being “deprived of so beautiful a piece of water, or of losing the excellent fish it produces.” Most of the meres are visited by abundance of wild fowl.
CIVIL AND ECCLESIASTICAL DIVISIONS
The county of Huntingdon is divided into four hundreds, viz. Norman’s Cross, Leighton Stone, Huntingstone, and Toseland, which contain one borough, Huntingdon, and five market towns, viz, Kimbolton, Ramsey, St. Ives, St. Neots, and Yaxley. The number of houses were estimated, according to the late act at 6,976.
Huntingdonshire is in the province of Canterbury, and the diocese of Lincoln, and is included in the Norfolk circuit.
