Welcome to Old Hurst

Old Hurst is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Great Ouse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the 11th century when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The village was once a thriving market town and was known for its wool trade. Today, Old Hurst is a peaceful and picturesque village that attracts visitors from all over the world.

One of the most notable landmarks in Old Hurst is the St. Peter's Church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a fine example of Norman architecture. The church has a beautiful stained glass window that depicts the life of St. Peter. The church is also home to a number of interesting artifacts including a 14th-century font and a 17th-century pulpit. The church is open to visitors throughout the year and is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture.

Another popular attraction in Old Hurst is the Old Hurst Post Office. The post office is a Grade II listed building and dates back to the 17th century. The post office was once a vital part of the village and was used by locals to send and receive mail. Today, the post office has been converted into a museum and is open to visitors. The museum houses a collection of artifacts that tell the story of the village and its people. Visitors can learn about the history of the post office and the important role it played in the village's development.
