Welcome to Kirtling and Upend

Kirtling and Upend is a historic parish in East Cambridgeshire. Located about five miles south of Newmarket, the parish comprises the attractive and historic villages of Kirtling and Upend.

This website has been put together on a voluntary basis with contributions from members of the parish community including the late Doug Everitt, Penny Close, and Tricia Lewis.

In particular, we would like to acknowledge the valuable contribution of Doug Everitt to the development of this site. Doug has provided fascinating first hand knowledge about the changing pattern of rural life in the area since the Second World War.

We have had regular feedback from people not only in the UK but around the world who have enjoyed his account of A Country life.

Highlights of this website include:

• Old photographs of Kirtling
• Old photographs of Upend
• Accounts of village life
• Watercolours of the villages

We hope that you will find the website provides an interesting and informative account of this unique area of mid-Anglia.
