Welcome to Glinton.net the community site for the village of
Glinton. This web site aims to be a guide to the village including
local businesses and community
organisations as well as local news and
events.
Glinton is
a village of about 1700 people (census
1991) between Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, and Market Deeping
in Lincolnshire. We are separated from the main "urban
sprawl" of
Peterborough and the "New Township" of Werrington by the A15 Peterborough
bypass.
Glinton was mentioned in the Domesday Book and in fact, evidence
suggests that it dates from pre-history times. Certainly Stone
Age and Roman
remains have been found in and near the village.
