Clare College – the college has long-established links with Caldecote, and its archive holds many key village documents. The Dean of the college has suggested that he would be willing to come to visit the school to talk about these links, and to introduce Samuel Blythe, former Master of Clare and landowner in Caldecote (of Blythe Way and Blythe House fame).
