Exning
is situated along side the A14 at the Gateway to East Anglia Originally
inhabited by the Iceni-a Celtic Tribe-who had their headquarters here. In
Roman times the village was mainly situated to the south-west of the
church (Lacey's Lane,A14 area). A large Roman Villa once stood along the
'Moor Road', (between Burwell Road and North End), and the river (does it
have an official name?) has its source at St Wendreds Well, of which it
was said 'never dries up'. In recent times, however, the river has been
known to 'dry up' and water is now pumped regularly to maintain the
flow.
