The Maids Head public house was rebuilt to the original design after a fire in 1983. In two parts there was on the right a house, an open hall, built in the 15th century with a 16th century crosswing and on the left an 1852 block. The hall was timber framed with a floor inserted in the 16th century and encased in gault brick in the 19th century with a thatched roof. The crosswing was timber framed and rendered with a rebuilt gable end in brick and a thatched roof. The block to the left is in gault brick and has three blind, elliptically headed bays. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1126422 Wicken is a small village some 10 miles north-east of Cambridge and 5 miles south of Ely. There are traces of occupation from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The village is the site of Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve.
