Heavy rain, about 25mm in the surrounding area on already saturated farmland brought out the Alconbury Brook to flood state within 4-5 hours. Historically an area prone to flooding and features here http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/34681.aspx?area=052FWFAB1EL&page=1&type=Region&term=Anglian quite regularly. No properties were at risk but the water level was worryingly close for some.
