Stibbington is a village in the far north-west corner of Huntingdonshire district, Cambridgeshire, England, in a loop of the River Nene and in the civil parish of Sibson-cum-Stibbington. It is near Wansford on the Great North Road, in Peterborough District.
The village is about 6½ miles from Peterborough. The church[1] stands about a quarter of a mile east of the Great North Road near the ford to Sutton.
