[Caption says Market Place Fenstanton]

A delightful scene of children and adults with a fair. In the background are swing-boats and caravans.

Edward II granted to the Lord of the Manor of Fenstanton a “fair there yearly on the vigil and day of the Apostles Peter and Paul and six following days” The feast of St Peter and St Paul is on 29th June. Fenstanton still holds its Sports Day around that date.
