St John the Baptist Somersham

This church is one of the four churches belonging to the Benefice of Somersham, Pidley, Woodhurst and Old Hurst. The building dates from the period between 1250 and 1300. It stands on a site which in all probability has been consecrated for Christian worship since the second half of the seventh century. It is the largest of the churches in the Benefice.

The Ladybird Boat Trust was set up in 2013 and is based at Hartford Marina near Huntingdon. The vessel Ladybird is wheelchair accessible and accommodates up to 20 passengers. The open foredeck area enables passengers to enjoy to the full the magnificent scenery and wildlife on the river. The service operates from mid April to early October and is crewed by a Boatmaster and trained crew, all of whom are volunteers.
