Longstanton and District Heritage Society
District is defined as consisting of Northstowe and the village of Oakington and Westwick. It can also include the area associated with the South West Fen Edge and our local tracks and by-ways, so the interactions between local communities can be properly understood.

As Northstowe grows so will the boundaries of the district, enabling the histories of other local villages to be preserved as and when required. Northstowe, a massive new development not seen in the UK since the town of Milton Keynes was built, will have a profound impact on the rural communities that exist today. LDHS was established so that what went before will not be forgotten.
