The name 'Eltisley' hints at its origin as an Anglo-Saxon settlement among woodland. Eltisley (Hecteslei) is mentioned in the Domesday Book:
"In Longstow Hundred. The Canons of Bayeux hold 3 hides in Eltisley. Land for 9 ploughs. In lordship 1½ hides; 3 ploughs there; 6 villagers with 10 smallholders have 6 ploughs. 5 cottagers; 6 slaves. Meadow for 3 ploughs; woodland, 20 pigs. The total value is and always was £13. Earl Algar held this manor".
Eltisley has a large village green which was the junction of two ancient roads running from Cambridge to St Neots and from St Ives to Potton.
The church, St Pandionia (or Pandwyna), stands immediately west of the green and several buildings from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries stand along its edge, suggesting that the green has been at the centre of the village for a long time.
In 1868 it was earmarked for parishioners' recreation and exercise and cricket is played there in summer. Eltisley Cricket Club was established in 1854 and a thatched pavilion stands on the village green.
The Prisoner episode, The Girl who was Death used this cricket green for filming.

I originally planned this as a multi-cache. But you can see the sign from GZ and it's less than 200 yards away!
I checked the coordinates on a famous satellite/maps site and they seemed a little off, so they have been adjusted by a couple of metres. If you're lost please check the hint.
