A little Soham history

The region between Devils Dyke and the line between Littleport and Shippea Hill shows a huge amount of archaeological findings of the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. A couple of hoards of bronze objects are found in the area of Soham, including one with swords and spearheads of the later Bronze Age as well as a gold torc, retrieved in 1938. An extensive ditch system, not visible on aerial photographs, has been identified, as well as a wooden trackway 870 yards in length between Fordey Farm and Little Thetford, with associated shards of later Bronze Age pottery.

St Felix of Burgundy founded Soham Abbey in Soham around 630 AD but it was destroyed by the Danes in 870 AD. Luttingus, an Anglo-Saxon nobleman, built a cathedral and palace at Soham around 900 AD, on the site of the present day Church of St Andrews and adjacent land.

St Andrews Church dates from the 12th century. Traces of the Saxon cathedral are said to still exist within the church. In 1102 Hubert de Burgh, Chief Justice of England, granted Ranulph certain lands in trust for the Church of St Andrews. Ranulph is recorded as the first Vicar of Soham and had a hand in designing the new Norman church. The current church is mainly later, the tower being the latest addition in the 15th century. This tower was built to replace a fallen crossing tower and now contains ten bells. The back six were cast in 1788, with two new trebles and two bells being recast in 1808.

The town narrowly escaped destruction on 2 June 1944, during the Second World War, when a fire developed on the leading wagon of a heavy ammunition train travelling slowly through the town. The town was saved by the bravery of four railway staff, Benjamin Gimbert GC, the driver, James Nightall GC, the fireman, Frank Bridges, the signalman and Herbert Clarke, the guard, who uncoupled the rest of the train and drove the engine and lead wagon clear of the town, where it exploded, killing Jim Nightall and Frank Bridges but causing no further deaths. Ben Gimbert survived and spent seven weeks in hospital. Although small in comparison to what would have happened if the entire train had blown up, the explosion caused substantial property damage. Gimbert and Nightall were both awarded the George Cross, with Nightall awarded posthumously. A permanent memorial was unveiled on 2 June 2007 by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester followed by a service in St Andrews Church. The memorial is constructed of Portland stone with a bronze inlay depicting interpretive artwork of the damaged train and text detailing the incident.

A grisly Soham event

In August 2002, Soham became the centre of a national media frenzy following the disappearance and murder of two ten year old local girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, who both lived in Soham. The two girls disappeared from the family home of Holly Wells in Redhouse Gardens on the evening of 4 August. Sadly both girls were found dead some 10 miles away, near RAF Lakenheath, on 17 August.

In December 2003, Ian Huntley, who had been employed as the caretaker at the local secondary school, Soham Village College, was convicted of their murders and sentenced to life in prison. He had given a number of police and television interviews while the girls were missing, claiming to have seen them on the evening of their disappearance, and was finally arrested several hours before their bodies were found, following the recovery of clothing belonging to the girls on the school site.

The caretakers house in College Close where Huntley lived, and admitted at his trial the girls died, was demolished in 2004.
