“Gardens of Brooklands Lodge,” a whisper from 1881 echoes through time. It carries the names of James Jennings, a gardener residing at Brooklands Lodge with his family. Brooklands Lodge, nestled on Trumpington Road, housed lives intertwined with the earth. Richard Brett, another gardener, called Brooklands Lodge home. The census records reveal a community thriving within these walls. Generations later, the Trotman family occupied Brooklands Lodge on Avenue Road. George Trotman, a domestic gardener, lived there with his wife Agnes and their children. Their son, Sydney Trotman, answered the call of duty. He served as Private 3155 in the 2/3rd (City of London) Battalion (Royal Fusiliers). Tragically, he died on June 3rd, 1915, and was laid to rest in Khartoum War Cemetery, Sudan. Brooklands Lodge silently witnessed the comings and goings, the joys and sorrows, of those who lived within its embrace. The lodge stands as a testament to the lives it sheltered, a quiet observer of Cambridge’s history.
