context_page_description: Histon and Impington are villages in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. They are situated just north of Cambridge with the main bulk of the settlements being separated from the city by the A14 road.
  Over the years the two villages have grown and entwined together, to such an extent that many villagers today do not know where one ends and the other begins. They contain a combined total of six pubs. They have nursery, infants', junior and secondary schools. The International Whaling Commission is based in Impington, while the now-abolished East of England Development Agency was based in Histon. Histon is also the location of the radio station Heart 103, which covers Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Huntingdon and Royston and is part of Global Radio.
context_section_description: The first recorded reference to the church was in 1217, but in about 1270 it was modernised, turning it into a cruciform-style church. Much of the building work was carried out in the 13th and 14th centuries, but extensive restoration work and alterations took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. There have been bells in the church since at least 1553; the oldest surviving bell in the tower is dated at 1556 and was made by Austen Bracker of Islington, Norfolk. The bell is listed for preservation by the central council as it is Bracker’s only dated bell.
