I was doing my geneology thing, typed in Melbourn and came up with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourn with a link to this site. This is possibly the nicest designed site I have come across. A joy to peruse.

Moved away a couple of years ago but wish I was still living in Melbourn.

Came upon your site during family history research - of course! - Most of my mother's family came from the Cambridge area, including Foxton, Shepreth, Barrington and Meldreth and especially Melbourn. I particularly like your History section and understand that your planning to put the Church records on the site I look forward to seeing them online. I can't wait to tell my mum about this site, she will love it.

Although I no longer live in Melbourn, I still have fond memories when I was stationed at Duxford during the war, and stayed most of the time in Melbourn. The village has obviously changed but if this website is anything to go by the friendly atmosphere still stands. Will visit here again. Thanks

Stumbled across your site by accident. It is attractive and easy to use - very informative - speaks volumes about spirit of the residents/contributors. My family and I are planning to move to the area from Manchester, possibly to Melbourn. Using the Internet I wanted to find out something about the area. Your magazine, pictures and local information will really help us in our choice. May I say a big 'thank you'? Well done and keep up the good work!

Hi, I grew up in Melbourn and last lived there 20 years ago. The pictures are great but it looks like a lot has changed. I went to the Primary School and then MVC. From MVC website it looks like its grown a lot! Where has all the traffic gone?
Anyway great site. Will be back for sure.

Such a lovely village and a very nice website. Shame its spoilt by the youngsters ruining it with their large gatherings and noise at the car park and down the Moor. Why don't they think of others rather than just themselves? And is there nothing the council can do to make the owner of the old Post Office clean it up, it does look horrible.

Great looking site. My mother grew up in Melbourn during and after the WWII. She lived with her Grandparents now buried in the churchyard. They lived in an old house in the High Street. I just love the pictures in the history section although its about time it was updated, it hasn't changed for some time. I can just remember the old school in Mortlock Street, (I remember my father calling it Church Lane) not the building that's there now but the one that was next door it's a housing estate now I think. I recently found out that one of relations was born at the Red Lion in the High Street, although I believe the building no longer stands, I would welcome any information about this old building.
