Welcome to the Hatley website
The parish of Hatley unites the hamlets of Hatley St George and East Hatley, half a mile apart in the arable farmland of south Cambridgeshire. Hatley is roughly halfway between Bedford and Cambridge, linked by footpaths and bridleways to the surrounding villages.
The two hamlets predate Domesday. They share two medieval churches, a village shop-cum-post office and a cricket green. The parish church of Hatley St George stands opposite St George's Tower, originally a water tower, now a small business park.
A feature of the Hatleys is that the more important buildings were once surrounded by moats. These can still be seen, especially in East Hatley. St. Denis church retains its moat and other moats can be seen from the road near Manor Barn and The Palace.
This website is for the residents of Hatley St George and East Hatley, with news, history, community updates and local services.
