Holy Trinity Haddenham Haddenham derrives its name from 'Haeda's homestead'. In 673 it was part of Queen Ethelreda's marriage endowment. A church has stood on the the hill since then as Ovin, Etheldreda's minister and steward, had close connections with the village. The present building is late thirteenth and fourteenth century, but with major a restoration dating to 1876 by R R Rowe. The structure is rubblestone and limestone ashlar and dressed limestone with leaded roofs and end parapets with nineteenth century gable crosses.
