2nd - 5th January 2024. As many will have realised, some perhaps to their cost, the recent heavy rain dramatically raised the level of the River Granta in the village. Initially, on the 2nd January, the river was running very high in its bed, but the water on Hood's Meadow seemed to just be the result of the heavy rain. However, over the course of 5th January, the river level rose dramatically, flooding the Cricket Field, the area upstream of the road bridge, and both Sluice Wood and Cook's Meadow.

2nd Jan - river running high, but still in its bed - just!
2nd Jan - flooding on Hood's Meadow, but likely to be collected rain,
rather than the river bursting its banks
5th Jan - flooding of the Cricket Field
