The Roebuck House.

This Grade 2 listed house is the dominant feature of Ferry Lane, Chesterton, Cambs.The original parts of the house date from the middle ages and the large timber gateway has a reset oak head dating from 1500. It has grounds down to the river Cam with mooring rights. At times it has been an inn, farmhouse and biology lab. In 1770 it was used by the Baptists, where people were baptised in the garden. The huge immersion font is still there but now used as a flowerbed and the medieval barn is a family room. I would love to look around there, but it is now a family home. It has also been said that at one time in the past, members of a notorious university drinking club were known to frolic naked on the lawns. I rather think they had been skinny dipping in the Cam !
