Welcome to Wistow, Cambridgeshire
Wistow is an English civil parish within the district of Huntingdonshire and the county of Cambridgeshire.
Wistow is a farming community that has grown up around its church and manor house in the small secluded valley cut by Bury Brook alongside the road between Ramsey and St. Ives. The Church is partly Norman and contains examples of 15th Century painted glass while the manor house dates from the early 17th Century.
