The parish of Shudy Camps lies 12 miles south-east of Cambridge and was, until about the 14th century, known as Little Camps.[ citation needed ] It is probable that settlement in the area began in small clearings in the woodland. [3] The chance discovery of ancient grave sites on the south west slope of White Hills Field (part of Carters Farm) was reported in the “Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society”. [4] In 1933 it was decided to try and find these burial sites again, in order to date them and subsequently a further 148 burials were found and dated as the earliest form of Christian Saxon culture in the area.[ citation needed ]
Camp derives from Latin campus ('field') and usually denoted an enclosed piece of land. Shudy may derive from Middle English schudde ('shed'). [5]
St Mary’s Church (CoE) is one of 5 parishes in the Linton Team Ministry (Linton, Bartlow, Castle Camps, Horseheath and Shudy Camps). The church of St Mary, so called from c. 1200, consists of a chancel, nave with south porch, and west tower, and is built of field stones with ashlar dressings. Fragments of 12th-century carvings have been re-used in the walls, and the south doorway of the chancel is probably 13th-century. That of the nave, perhaps 14th-century, retains the original door under modern boarding, and the porch has medieval roof-beams. The three-storey tower, its upper portion mostly rebuilt in brick though including the earlier belfry windows, has a 14th-century west window, in whose spandrels are carved much-worn figures of the Virgin and Child and of a knight. The nave was apparently widened to the south in the 15th century, leaving the chancel off-centre. Its three-light windows, the western pair renewed, have complicated tracery. The chancel and chancel arch date from later in that century, as do the three-light windows under depressed arches. The plain nave roof is probably of c. 1500. [3]
