'''Great Gransden''' is a village in the south of [[Huntingdonshire]]. It is a fair-sized village for the area; in 2001, the population of the parish was 969 people. It is right by the border with neighbouring [[Cambridgeshire]]; its twin village, [[Little Gransden]], is in Cambridgeshire.<br />
<br />
Great Gransden was first mentioned in AD 973 when the land of Grantedene was granted in gift to Thorney Abbey by Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester. It is now a residential village set in a wooded hollow in the south-east corner of the District.<br />
<br />
Its older centre is quite charming with period cottages grouped around the church which is dated from the 15th Century although its tower dates from about 1390. Features of note include a pulpit of 1600 and a rare clock whose chiming mechanism is said to date from 1683. In addition there is a windmill, said to be the oldest post mill in England.<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
Great Gransden parish is 10 miles southeast of the [[county town]], [[Huntingdon]]. The whole parish is broad and covers an area of 3,402 acre.<ref name="genuki"/> The village stands on the B1046 road between [[Abbotsley]], to the west, and [[Longstowe]], to the east. Minor roads run south-west to [[Waresley]] and north-east to [[Caxton, Cambridgeshire|Caxton]].<br />
<br />
This part of Huntingdonshire is in the in the small hills which beautify the south of the county; the land in the parish ranges from 108 feet, near its border with Abbotsley parish, to 246 feet above of sea level on the disused airfield. The subsoil is Ampthill clay with Lower Greensand.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Church of St Bartholomew==<br />
[[File:Church, Great Gransden, Cambridgeshire - geograph.org.uk - 332030.jpg|right|thumb|200px|St Bartholomew's Church, Great Gransden]]<br />
The Grade I listed<ref>{{IoE|395648}}</ref> parish church, dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, has a chancel with a 19th Century organ chamber, a vestry on the north side, nave, north aisle, south aisle, west tower and north and south porches.<br />
<br />
The church, or rather its predecessor, was mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 but no remains from this time exist now.<br />
<br />
The tower was built in the late 14th Century, but the whole church was rebuilt in the 15th Century. The organ chamber and vestry were built, and the north porch entirely rebuilt in 1873.<ref name="genuki"/> A pulpit dating to 1600 and a rare clock whose chiming mechanism is said to date from 1683 are notable artifacts in the church.<ref name="gg_history"/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The village's name is derived from "Granta's valley". The name appears as ''Grantandene'' in 973 and ''Grante(s)dene'' in the 1086 [[Domesday Book]].<ref>Mills, A.D. (1998). A Dictionary of English Place-names. Second Edition. Oxford University Press, Oxford. p159. ISBN 0-19-280074-4</ref><br />
<br />
Great Gransden's earliest surviving appearance in the written record is in 973 when its land was endowed to Thorney Abbey by Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester. Its older centre is made up of cottages grouped around the 16th century church, although its tower dates from about 1390.<br />
<br />
The continuing connection between the village and Clare College, Cambridge appears to date back to 1346, when the advowson for Great Gransden church was part of the original endowment of the college.<ref name=gg_history>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42502 'Parishes: Great Gransden', A History of the County of Huntingdon: Volume 2 (1932), pp. 296-302.]</ref><ref name=cc_history>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66644 'The colleges and halls: Clare College', A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 3: The City and University of Cambridge (1959), pp. 340-346.]</ref><br />

===Barnabas Oley===<br />
Barnabas Oley was first instituted to the vicarage in 1633. He was a Fellow of Clare College and editor of George Herbert's works. During the English Civil War, he was one of the university's most active Royalists. He was expelled from his fellowship and lodgings in 1644, but at the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660 they were restored to him. From 1664 Oley lived mainly at Great Gransden and left many benefactions.<ref name="genuki"/> He founded the village school in 1670 and it is named after him.<ref>[http://www.barnabasoley.cambs.sch.uk/ Barnabas Oley Church of England Primary School]</ref><br />
<br />
Barnabas Oley's life is celebrated every year on the school's Founder's Day, held in the parish church.
