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.

Wistow Parish Council was formed in 1928 and is currently made up of 7 elected or co-opted councillors who serve for a 4 year term and represent approximately 500 electors. The Council meets regularly on the second Tuesday of every month (except August & December). The meetings take place at Wistow Village Hall at 7:30pm.
