Wimpole
Wimpole is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England, about southwest of Cambridge. Until 1999, the main settlement on the A603 was officially known and signed as ''New Wimpole and Orwell, Cambridge Road''.

It is the site of the country house of Wimpole Hall and its accompanying Wimpole's Folly. History The present village of Wimpole was founded around 1840 about a mile to the east of Ermine Street, either side of the Roman road that once linked Ermine Street to Cambridge (now the A603). A Roman settlement has been found in the parish on the site of the south-west lodge near Arrington Bridge. Listed as ''Winepole'' in the Domesday Book of 1086, the parish formerly contained two other small settlements, Wratworth and Whitwell, but both had been absorbed into the single parish by the end of the 13th century, though the ...
