Welcome to Benwick

Welcome to the busiest website for the village of Benwick, Cambridgeshire. Here you will find a vast array of information on the whole village, from the latest news and events, to history and photographs of the village as it used to be. The website contains pages for each village group / club, and a small genealogy section. If you have anything to contribute, from a scrap of information to a few photos of the latest events, please get in touch:

mail@lilyholtroad.co.uk

The website is supported by all village groups, who help keep the website updated. There is a section for the Parish Council where you can find minutes and agendas along with contact details for each Councillor. There is an extensive history section with some great old photographs, and your opportunity to get a copy of Benwick Bygones, the book on the village’s history released in 2008.

The website is also home to the Benwick Bugle until its new website is launched. You can read the latest editions online, and find the submission deadlines.

Benwick Methodist Chapel was built in 1833, the money coming from those in Benwick who wanted a Methodist place of worship. At that time, there was only the Baptist Chapel. The chapel was one large room, which seated up to 150 people. In 1923 an organ was installed, and once the Church of St. Mary closed in 1985 it became the sole location for Worship in the village. It was closed in 2005, and sold privately, by which time it was one of the oldest buildings surviving in the village. It was demolished in 2011.
