Cherry Hinton
A shield in front of a cherry tree with blossom and cherries, squirrel and rabbit and flowers. The four quarters of the shield depict:
- A steam traction engine, representing Pampin's steam plough works used to be on the High Street.
- Saffron crocuses formerly grown round Cherry Hinton.
- Launderesses at work. Laundry for Cambridge colleges once provided a cottage industry in Cherry Hinton. There was an excellent supply of spring water.
- St Andrew's church.
