SohamSoham is a moderate sized Market Town and the second largest Parish in East Cambridgeshire covering 5,245 hectares, Ely 6 miles North and the largest Parish covering 5,903 hectacres. Soham is situated in the Staploe Hundred and 6 miles from Newmarket to the South, so has excellent links to the A14 and to Cambridge that is 16 miles away. Soham was once a sleepy little Town of approx 5000 inhabitants with the main employment being in agriculture, to day its population is in excess of 10,000 and growing. Soham has three excellent Schools that serve the Community, and many local facilities.
Soham was  officially twinned  in 2006 with Andrezieux-Boutheon, a town in France near Lyon.
Soham has seen many changes over the years but seems to retain its Community spirit, we hope through our website you will get an avid view of Soham as it was in yesteryear and as it is today, and hopefully the website will assist you in your Genealogy and Local History studies of our Town.
We would welcome any comments or any items you would like to share with us, and would be delighted if you would like to share information or photo’s that we could add to the website, at this point we would like to thank all the various People who have contributed to Soham Roots in the past and hope that we continue to give you pleasure and a helping hand in the future.
The Website will now be dedicated to all our Ancestors who have made all of Soham’s long and varied History so vibrant and interesting, because without these People none of us today would be here and continuing to enjoy living in and indeed researching this rich Towns past.
