YAXLEY (1830) Is a village and parish, in the hundred of Norman Cross, 73 miles from London, 14 from Huntingdon, and 12 from Ramsey. It is a small, irregularly built place, of mean appearance, having no object of attraction but its church (which is a noble one, standing on an eminence) and Whittlesea Mere which is said to be one of the finest sheets of water in the kingdom. The living of Yaxley is a vicarage, in the patronage of the King; the present incumbent is the Rev. George Freer. The only trade of a particular nature existing here is that in sedge and reed, which is considerable. A fair is held annually, on Holy Thursday, for cattle. The population of the parish in 1821 was 1,070; but, from the circumstance of the prisoners in the Great Prison at Norman Cross being included in the returns, the number fluctuates; at this period the parish &c. is estimated to contain about 1,370 inhabitants.
