(Click on an image for a larger version)
When Queen Etheldreda founded a monastery in Ely in 673 Haddenham – meaning “Haeda’s homestead – was part of her marriage endowment. Ovin, Etheldreda’s minister and steward, who had close connections with the village founded Holy Trinity Church in the same year. The present church is late thirteenth /early fourteenth century with a major restoration by RR Rowe in 1876.
"Dorothy in a single state" presumably means she was unmarried.
