Historical notes about the Community of Woodston

Peterborough has gathered Woodston in its arms. Here lived Roman, Saxon, and Norman, and all have left something behind. Fragments of Roman huts were found here in 1910; and Peterborough Museum has bronze ornaments from two Saxon cemeteries here.

The church, which is of Saxon foundation, was much restored and enlarged last century, but it keeps a few old things, among them altar plate made by an Elizabethan craftsman and a 14th century font. In the tower are stones carved in the 12th century, four Norman windows, and one small window over the doorway, which is oldest of all, a fragment from the Saxon church the Normans made their own.

The name in Domesday is spelt Wodestun, probably referring to the pagan god Woden whose worship was widespread in the district.
