The name Hinxton is a contraction of Hengestestun, "the town of Hengest".[2]

Wetland Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

This six-hectare (15-acre) nature reserve has been specially created to provide a range of habitats for local plant and animal species. The reserve provides a natural flood-relief mechanism. By acting as a large sponge and storing rainwater during periods of heavy rainfall, the wetland reduces the likelihood of flooding downstream. The ponds are filled naturally so water levels fluctuate as the water table rises and falls.
