History

A large grassed area of earthworks, on the west side of Oakington Road and north of Oakington Brook, is believed to contain houses, track ways and ponds that originate from the Medieval period.[2] The earthworks are very easily observed from Oakington Road. Westwick became a parish in 1866,[3] on 1 April 1985 the parish was abolished to form "Oakington and Westwick".[4]
