Upend is a hamlet in the east of Cambridgeshire. It is {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}} south-east of Newmarket and lies in the same parish as Kirtling. Until the 15th century Upend was called Upheme which is old English for "the up-dwelling". Upend may once have been a separate village but it had been absorbed into Kirtling at some time before 1066.{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/cambs/vol10/pp57-63 |title='Kirtling', in A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 10, Cheveley, Flendish, Staine and Staploe Hundreds (North Eastern Cambridgeshire) |author=A F Wareham and A P M Wright (editors)|date=2002 |publisher=British History Online |access-date=3 December 2015}}
