Cambridge Road  (Schedule 29) [I can't identify this dwelling for certain - either (a) this is half of the Old Wooden School building, which was listed as two very small dwellings both in the 1891 census and the 1933 Estate sale documents, or (b) this house and family were simply listed out of sequence as, in 1891, the Carter family were living at the other end of New Wimpole village (at 1891 Schedule 13).] William [Edmund] CARTER (1)(5) Head M 47 General Labourer Croydon, Cambridgeshire Elizabeth CARTER (2) Wife M 44 - Wimpole, Cambridgeshire Nellie CARTER Daughter S 13 Scholar Wimpole, Cambridgeshire Daisy CARTER Daughter S 9 Scholar Wimpole, Cambridgeshire Beaty CARTER Daughter S 7 Scholar Wimpole, Cambridgeshire Dorothy CARTER Daughter S 4 Scholar Wimpole, Cambridgeshire [Notes: (1) William Edmund Carter died 1940 aged 84 and was buried with Elizabeth in Wimpole Churchyard. (2) Elizabeth Carter died 1911, aged 54, and was buried in Wimpole Churchyard. (3) William and Elizabeth were parents to Sidney, Lily, Alice, Annie, Nellie, Daisy, Beaty and Dorothy. (4) There's another William and Elizabeth Carter living at Schedule 44 below. Probably William's father but I will check the family when I get down there. (5) W Carter has been identified in a photograph.]

If the Census Enumerators 'did' schools, which of course they don't, then this is roughly where Wimpole Church of England School would appear in the census. The images below are both c1900, which means (depending on the exact year) most of the pupils seen here will be listed in the 1901 Census at more or less the 'age' they are in the photographs. Boys on the left, girls on the right. Click/tap on the photographs for larger images and some suggested pupil names.

[The 'Wooden School' This was the original school building in Wimpole, constructed from timber and brick with slated roof. After the new 'brick' C of E School was built nearby in 1874, the old school building was converted into one then two small dwellings. Each dwelling comprised a sitting room, a bedroom, a pantry, plus garden and an outside toilet. Residents had the legal right to "take water from the Pump and Well in the garden of the School-house". The building was said to be an Almshouse in 1933. The above image is the only 'photograph' of the school I have been able to find and is taken from a stencilled WI local history pamphlet published in 1958 (although the 'Wooden School' can also be glimpsed in the background of the two c1900 pupil photographs linked above). The original Village Hall (1924-1977) is also in the above image, alongside the school on the right.]

The seven Estate Worker's cottages built by Lord Hardwicke c1840 follow here (shown in the graphic below with both the original [white background] and modern-day [bold with grey background] house numbers), located along the northern side of the Cambridge Road. There were originally 26 dwellings, later reduced to seventeen dwellings - four 'doubles' and three 'triples' (plan not to scale). The numbers with an asterisk indicate dwellings [known or assumed] to be at the rear of the property.         15* 16* 9* 10* 3* 4* -- -- 24  23 22  21 20  19 17 18 13 14 11 12 7 8 5 6 1 2 70  68 64  62 56  54 52  50 48  46* 44 42  40* 38 36  34* 34 West Cambridge Road (A603) East 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: 1933 Sale: W Wayman 68 H Pratt 62 G Wilkins 54 A Bullen 50 E Neaves 44 J Skinner 38 W Reed 34 C Skinner 70 H Bullen 64 W Carter 56 C Bullen 52 A Baulk 46* F Waldock 40* E Dyball 34*         T Goates 48 H Wilkins 42 L Chesham 36               1911 Census: 1911 Census: 1911 Census: 1911 Census: 1911 Census: 1911 Census: 1911 Census: W Wayman 68 C Pratt 62 J Osborne 54 A Bullen 50 A Wilkins W Whitby W Reed 34 C Skinner 70 J Bullen 64 W Carter 56 C Money 52 W Wilkins D Pratt J Rule         T Goates 48 H Wilkins 42 J Goates               1901 Census: 1901 Census: 1901 Census: 1901 Census: 1901 Census: 1901 Census: 1901 Census: W Wayman 68 C Pratt 62 J Osborne 54 J Gadd 50?

Yellow highlighting indicates a confirmed numbered residence (a census says 'who' but not always 'where'). I have then tried to match dwellings to the earlier 1891 and 1871 Census. Although the 1933 Sale and 1911, 1901 and 1891 Censusus above work through exactly as expected across the 17 dwellings above, it appears that the three 'triples' were originally numbered as six individual cottages and presumably built to house six families (three upstairs and three downstairs). The conversion into three larger paired dwellings (I assume the ground floor was paired with the first floor immediately above) was probably carried out during the 1880s. Cottages and named residents shown in the 1871 and 1891 censuses appears to confirm this. So for 1871 and 1891, I have tried to use the original cottage numbering system used - No 1 Cottage to No 24 Cottage right to left. I believe this is the numbering 'as built'. Note the more recent 'double' cottage on the far left is listed in both censuses as "un-numbered". Although the 1891 residents fall into place neatly enough, I think the numbering sequence confused the census enumerator in both 1891 and 1871 years and the given cottage numbers were not necessarily listed correctly against the families in residence.

(2) Despite some quite extensive searching, it took several years to establish where Mary Ann died or where she is buried. Thanks to John and Carolyn Parkins we now know she died of capillary bronchitis on the 18 March 1932 at 28 Castle Street, Farnham in Surrey where she was living with her son David. Her death certificate confirms 'widow of David Pratt, gardener domestic'. (3) Previous Heads: 1881 David Pratt, 1891 David Pratt. (4) Mary Ann Pratt photographed in June 1930 at the age of 91.]
