Parson Drove

Samuel Pepys visited Parson Drove in 1663. He stayed at the village's Swan Inn, and mentions it in his diaries, though he was not complimentary. Parson Drove is most certainly not the 'heathen place' once described by Pepys!

It was a centre of the woad industry until 1914, when the last remaining woad mill was demolished.

The Parson Drove Visitors' Centre is set in the old Victorian lock-up on the village green, a building with an unusual 170-year history. Photographs and documents trace the story of this lovely Fens village. The Church of St John the Baptist has many treasures, including delightful carved medieval faces and large clear windows with medieval glass in the tracery.
