Glatton is a small conservation village situated in the North West of Cambridgeshire not far from the Northamptonshire border. It was originally located in the ancient county of Huntingdonshire but in the 1960s and 1970s local government reorganisation abolished Huntingdonshire and Glatton found itself in Cambridgeshire. The last Census in 2011 recorded a population 

of 308.

​

The western part of Glatton Parish is gently undulating farmland and to the East the Parish borders the Fens with miles of extremely fertile land. Peterborough is 9 miles to the Northeast and Oundle is 8 miles to the West.

​

St Nicholas Church stands on a mound in the center of the village. It was largely rebuilt in the latter part of the 15th Century but to the expert eye traces of Saxon origins can be detected.  It is served by the neighbouring village of Sawtry and is regularly used for worship. See St Nicholas Church page for more information.
