HISTORY The parish of New England was formed by 1615 as one of the then five parishes of Peterborough, St. John the Baptist's, St. Mark's, St. Mary's, Boongate, St. Paul's, New England and St. Botolph's, Longthorpe. The County Directory of 1900 describes New England thus: ''NEW ENGLAND is a hamlet, within the municipal borough, 2 miles' north on the road to Market Deeping, and is the seat of the extensive engineering works of the Great Northern Railway Company. Here is a Wesleyan chapel, erected in 1866, and a mission hall. For the church and schools, see Peterborough. A drinking fountain was presented in 1884 by the Rev. Charles Richard Ball M.A. vicar of St. Paul's, New England, 1861-87, and other members of the family, as a memorial to their parents.'' {Link without Title} CURRENT STATUS New England has a large Muslim community is set to become the country's largest home zone {Link without Title} . |
