There are three non-political entities that have an impact on life in Grantchester:
- King’s College Cambridge owns much of the land in the parish
- Savills Cambridge represents King’s College
- The Trumpington Estate farms much of the land in the parish and is managed by David Knott
These organisations work with the Parish Council to provide some of the amenities that residents and visitors enjoy such as the village car park and permissive access rights. A Trumpington Estates map of the public and permissive paths in Grantchester and Barton can be found here: Barton & Grantchester Rights Of Way.
