===Legends===

[[Hinchingbrooke House]], once a convent, is said to be haunted. The bridge over the Alconbury Brook named Nun's Bridge is said also to be haunted, by one of the nuns who once lived at the convent.<ref>[http://www.francisfrith.com/huntingdon/photos/nuns-bridge-1901_46623/ http://www.francisfrith.com/huntingdon/photos/nuns-bridge-1901_46623/] ''francisfrith.com''</ref> She is said often to be accompanied by another ghost that resembles a nurse. The myth goes that the nun had a monk lover who caused them to be murdered.
