History
The Huntingdon, Bedford, Cambridge and Peterborough Gazette was founded in Huntingdon by Mrs Elizabeth Carter Hatfield in 1813 as a weekly comprising 4 pages and costing 7d. It advocated liberal reformist principles and was published from London.
Her son, Weston, was printer and editor of the Cambridge & Hertford Independent Press, which he founded in 1818, and the two papers were merged in 1819 to become the Huntingdon Bedford & Peterborough Gazette & Cambridge & Hertford Independent Press.
In May 1839 the paper was renamed the Cambridge Independent Press.[1]
