About

Sawtry sits in north Huntingdonshire close to the A1 trunk road. The village contains a range of shops, a primary academy, a community centre and sports clubs, with local matters handled by a parish council. An industrial estate occupies part of the parish, and public footpaths and bridleways lead into surrounding farmland. Lanes around Sawtry pass earthworks and old field boundaries that record phases of settlement and enclosure over several centuries.

Nearby lie Great Gidding and Little Gidding, two small parishes with village greens, narrow lanes and churchyards. Little Gidding is associated with the 17th‑century Ferrar community and its small chapel, a place that appears in T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. The Giddings retain working farmland and pockets of meadow, and local conservation activity concentrates on maintaining lanes, hedgerows and church buildings for community use. Both Sawtry and the Giddings reflect a pattern of rural settlement and agricultural practice characteristic of Huntingdonshire.
