==History==
The settlement's name is derived from the Old English ''bean'' or ''beam'', and ''wic'', meaning "farm where beans are grown" or "farm by a tree-trunk."〔Mills, A.D. (1998). A Dictionary of English Place-names. Second Edition. Oxford University Press, Oxford. p34. ISBN 0-19-280074-4〕 Benwick was an ancient fenland village, but is unique among them by not being built on an actual "island." In 1221, Benwick had 15 tenants and by 1251, 32.〔('North Witchford Hundred: Doddington' ), A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 4: City of Ely; Ely, N. and S. Witchford and Wisbech Hundreds (2002), pp. 110–116.〕 It used to be in the parish of Doddington,〔 one of the largest parishes in England. Under the Doddington Rectory Division Act of 1856 it was divided into seven rectories.
From 1898 to 1966 Benwick was the terminus of the Benwick goods railway which ran from Three Horseshoes junction at Turves, on the Ely to Peterborough line. The station was on the road to Whittlesey. There was never a passenger service on the line, except a special enthusiasts train on 9 September 1956.〔http://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk〕
''Benwick Bygones'', a book on the History of Benwick was published in 2008 by Adam Keppel-Garner and Janet Fountain.
