 The closure of the brick and tile works probably caused the parish's population to fall in the aftermath of its sale in 1920.A war memorial, built from Cornish granite, now stands within the new cemetery having been resited from its former position outside Gamlingay Village College and commemorates men from the village who died in the First and Second World Wars.Two timber-framed buildings in the village date from the late 15th or early 16th centuries
