Upware
Upware is a hamlet in Wicken civil parish, part of East Cambridgeshire, England, lying on the east bank of the River Cam. ==History== Situated in the isolated south-west corner of the parish of Wicken, the hamlet of Upware is believed to have existed, and indeed been known by its present name, since at least the 10th century. Its situation on a navigable stretch of the River Cam would have been essential to its survival, and its name probably derives from a fishing weir on the river at the time. It was recorded as inhabited in both the 13th and 15th centuries, and there were 10 houses in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Analysis of an earthwork near the river found a brick base surrounded by a 40-foot moat and linked to a former wharf on the Cam. It is believed to be a Civil War fortification from the 1640s.〔 A chain ferry that carried people across the river at Upware was still in use in 1910.〔
