Melbourn: Clear Cottages
These almshouses on Orchard Road were built in 1924 as a philanthropic act by W W Clear who left £1,500 to build almshouses on a site provided from his estate. They were to be named after his brother, Francis John Clear, who died around 1905, and were for poor women who had been resident in Melbourn for at least 10 years.

Melbourn United Reformed Church
This building in Orchard Road was constructed in 1717. Since the United Reformed Church was only created in 1972 by the union of the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches it was obviously not originally built as such.
