Built in 1855 for a congregation of Calvinistic Particular Baptists which had seceded from the village's former Baptist congregation as it moved towards Independency (it had been formally reconstituted as an Independent congregation in 1841). The City of Refuge remained in use into the 1870s, but was seldom open by 1885; it reopened in 1925 but had long been closed when it was sold by the Cambridge Baptists in 1970. It then became an outbuilding in the garden of the adjoining Old Mangle, but has more recently been converted into a residential annexe ( planning permission for this was granted in early 2001). www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/cambs/vol10/pp156-157 ; oldchapelfulbourn.co.uk/ .

The house, known as the Old Mangle, was formerly a public house.

Mostly early C19 but possibly of earlier origins; mid-C20 porch: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1127884 .

Late C17 or early C18 cottages, the nearest section being a C19 extension or rebuilding. Two dwellings when listed in 1984; now converted to one with a further extension at the far end. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1318061 .

One of three similar houses built under planning permission granted in late 1964. The bricks used are a nod to the local context (houses a little further along the road, built in 1961, use red brick) but otherwise a modern design with a somewhat idiosyncratic asymmetrical roof line and canted side to the chimney.

Presumably contemporary with the vicarage itself, built in 1859 to designs of Richard Reynolds Rowe.

This is the best photograph that I could get without trespassing of a building which is of more historical than architectural or picturesque interest as it was built in 1859, to designs of Richard Reynolds Rowe, to replace an earlier vicarage even though All Saints' church had collapsed in 1766. Fulbourn, like Swaffham Prior , had until then two churches (All Saints and St Vigor's) standing in one churchyard; following the collapse of All Saints, an act of 1775 required the two incumbents to officiate in St Vigor's on alternate weeks (unless they agreed otherwise) and the two benefices were not united until 1876. All Saints' vicarage was then let from 1881 and sold in 1892 with its 7 acres of grounds, becoming known as Field House. [ www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=18826 ]
