====Limburys====
By 1279 Roger [[House of Neville|de Neville]] held about {{convert|60|acre}} of demesne under Thomas de Multon. In 1302 Philip de Neville held {{fraction|1|4}} of a [[knight's fee]] at Ickleton, which by 1316 had passed to Sir John Limbury. In 1335 Sir John was [[High Sheriff|Sheriff]] of Cambridgeshire and held {{convert|100|acre}} at Ickleton of the de Multons. The estate passed to Sir John's heirs and descendants and came to be called Limburys manor. In 1433 Elizabeth, Lady Swinburne (née Limbury) died and in 1456 her executor sold the manor with about {{convert|80|acre}} to [[Clare Hall, Cambridge]].<ref name=VCH/>

Limbury manor had a [[messuage]] by 1279 and two in 1388 and 1389. In 1545 the farmstead was in Frog Street. In 1704 the farm-buildings were still there but there was no house. After Clare Hall bought Mowbrays manor in 1819 it let Limburys and Mowbrays together and the tenants lived at Mowbrays (see below).<ref name=VCH/> The present house called Limburys is a flint rubblestone house in Abbey Street dating probably from the early to mid 19th century.<ref>{{NHLE |num= 1330954 |desc=Limburys |date=17 December 1896 |accessdate=1 September 2013}}</ref>
