Village Life
Quy currently supports three public houses. The White Swan, or Swan, a timber-framed house, was open by 1750. The Prince Albert opened in the 1840s on the Newmarket Road and was renamed The Missing Sock after refurbishment in 2010. The Wheatsheaf at Stow End opened in the late 19th century. Former pubs in the village were The Plough which opened in the late 18th century and was perhaps replaced by The Bush which was open from 1821 to 1904.
The village sign was erected to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
Children initially attend Bottisham Primary School in the nearby village and usually then go on to Bottisham Village College.
