»I spend my pocket money on buying second-hand books. I love the dry, musty smell of old books, the feeling of the silky paper between my fingers. In any case, the book collection in my room is growing and I think nothing makes a home more homely. Sometimes I feel exhilarated just holding a book in my hands.« (Deborah Crombie in “The Lost Poem”)

The name Hinxton is a contraction of Hengestestun, "the town of Hengest".[2] The village of Hinxton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Hestitona, as Hyngeston in the Ely Registers of 1341 and Hengestone in the Ramsey Chartulary. Its parish church is the medieval St Mary and St John Church. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinxton)

The church dates from the 13th century. Local legend claims that silver bells from the church tower were hidden in an underground passageway which ran between the church, the Old Vicarage and the Crown House Hotel to keep them safe from government soldiers. They have never been found, although some traces of the passageway have been uncovered. A nice quiet spot for a break.

All Saints is a pretty flint church that was founded in the 13th century. The Grade I-listed church has had some issues with its west tower, though, which was rebuilt in the 15th century after being destroyed and once again after it fell down in 1790.
