Gorefield


Gorefield is a village and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England.
At the time of the 2001 census, the parish's population was 1,064 people, increasing to 1,184 at the 2011 Census.
While the name Gorefield first appears in a manuscript from 1190, the village has no visible link to its pre-Victorian past. Gorefield as a developing village dates to the 19th and 20th centuries. The Church of St Paul was built in 1870 at a cost of £2,000 with the formation of the ecclesiastical parish of Gorefield from Leverington under the Leverington Rectory Act.
In 2004, Gorefield won the Fenland District Award in the Cambridgeshire Village of the Year contest.
