Pampisford is a village, south of Cambridge, on the A505 road near Sawston, Cambridgeshire, England. Pampisford Hall, the principal house of the village, was rebuilt to the designs of George Goldie for James Binney, whose descendants still live there. In the park is a pinetum, planted with fir trees from Japan, Mexico, China, California, Austria, and the Pyrenees. The remaining section of a defensive ditch, dug to close the gap between forest and marsh, is known as Brent Ditch, which runs between Abington Park and Dickman's Grove, and is most clearly seen in the park of Pampisford Hall. The sculptor Antony Gormley lived in a cottage here whilst an undergraduate of Trinity College, Cambridge. ==Famous local families== The Herald's ''Visitations'' (1575 and 1619) record an armiger holding an estate here, John Killingworth, who is designated "of Pampisford", although he appears to have resided at another Killingworth estate, Balsham Place Manor. However, the parish register for Pampisford records the burial there of John Killingworth, Esquire, on 24 May 1617. In 1742 the church monuments were recorded: "on the south wall within the rails is a Mural Monument of white marble, with this inscription on a square of black marble in gold letters, which are now scarce() visible: Here lyeth the Bodye of John Killingworth Esquier whoe was twyse married: his former () wife was Beatrix, daughter of Robert Alington of Horseheath, by whome he had two sons and four daughters. The latter (wife ) was Elizabeth, daughter of William Cheyney, Esquier, by whom he had three sons and four daughters. He dyed the 23rd of Maye Anno 1617. Aetatis suae 70." In a house in Pampisford there are, in the parlour window, Arms for Richard Killingworth and his wife Margaret Beriff, and in one of the main bedrooms are Arms for his son (inscription:) "John Killingworth Esquire () married Beatrice daughter of Robert Alington". In the same window are another set of Arms for John Killingworth and his second wife Elizabeth Cheyney. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pampisford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
