Impington Parish

The Impington parish boundary fell across what is now Campkin Road, formerly Manor Farm, meaning that the Arbury estate was actually in two parishes, Chesterton and Impington. My great-great uncle lived at Manor Farm (in a house close by the boundary of the former Manor Community College, now North Cambridge Academy). He died in World War 1, and his name is commemorated on the Impington war memorial as his home at Manor Farm in what is now Arbury, was in Impington parish.

Name "corrupted" - Unsourced Claim Removed

It is not actually possible to know what the original name of the iron age enclosure was, but it cannot be said that the evolvement of the name from the 13th Century onwards into Arbury is a "corruption" of the old name. "Bury" is common in old place names in England, and the name now applied may actually be closer to the original, with ""borough" being the "corruption".
