Eltisley

Eltisley is a civil parish and village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village lies approximately 8 miles west of the city of Cambridge. Historically, Eltisley was part of the county of Huntingdonshire before administrative changes brought it into Cambridgeshire.

The parish church, dedicated to St. Peter, is a Grade II listed building with a history dating back to the medieval period, although much of its current structure is from later periods. The village itself has a relatively small population and retains a rural character. It is situated in an area of agricultural land.

Eltisley has a village hall which serves as a community hub for local events and activities. The village is served by local roads connecting it to surrounding villages and larger towns. Its proximity to Cambridge means residents have access to a wider range of amenities and employment opportunities. Information about local history and community life is often found in parish council records and local historical society archives. The name Eltisley is thought to have Old English origins, possibly relating to a personal name and a place of pasture.
