This is now much the larger of the two Hemingford villages with housing extending the built-up area to the south and east.  On the Parish boundary, along London Road, are several industrial developments, and the handsome building which once housed St. Ives workhouse has been converted for residential use.  The old village centre has great charm with several 18th and 19th Century houses.  At the end of the High Street is the Norman Manor House, which was restored by the children's writer, Lucy Boston, and is open to the public by prior arrangement.  The Glebe is a 16th Century half-timbered, thatched building, whilst the beautiful medieval church, with its unique truncated spire, is close to the river bank at the end of Church Street.  Village amenities include the Sports Field and Pavilion, the Church Rooms, Reading Room and large hall of the Primary School, all of which serve community needs.  The Hemingford Grey Study Centre occupies the lovely Queen Anne House which was once the vicarage.  In the High Street are several shops, the Post Office and the village pub, known as The Cock.  Visitors can be accommodated at several guest houses in the village.
