It looks like some interesting court records are being digitized from the 16th to the 18th centuries. This might be a source of information on some of the residents of Cambridgeshire that might not otherwise appear in records.

Thanks for sharing. Any clues regarding when they'll be ready?

== EDIT ==

According to GOONS:

"An exciting project from Cambridge University Library in partnership with the Cambridgeshire Family History Society. The catalogue should be online by September 2020."

I think your best bet would be to check the www.cfhs.org.uk website. From the article, it seemed like some records might already be available, but I didn't see any obvious links on the CFHS site, where they are supposed to be.
