Bluntisham is situated within Huntingdonshire which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire as well as being a historic county of England.

The manor of Bluntisham goes back to the early part of the 10th century, when it was seized by Toli the Dane, who is said to have been the jarl or alderman of Huntingdon.

Toli was killed at the Battle of Tempsford in 917, at which point the county returned to the rule of Edward the Elder.

The sale was confirmed by King Edgar, but when he died in 975 a claim was made by the sons of Bogo de Hemingford, who believed that it was the inheritance of their uncle.

[3] A large wood known as "Bluntisham Hangar" once existed south of Highams Field, and is probably that mentioned in the Domesday Book.

Bluntisham Parish Council has eleven members and normally meets on the first Monday of every month in the village hall.

Bluntisham is a part of the electoral division of Somersham and Earith and is represented on the county council by one councillor.

Some residents still sell fruit on roadside stalls, but oilseed rape is the more popular crop nowadays.

Somersham Road yielded a chalybeate spring, where more than one attempt was made in the 18th century to establish a spa.

[citation needed] From this famous club came Charles Goodman Tebbutt, who was responsible for the first published rules of Bandy in 1882.

[18] The Barograph in the centre of the High Street was erected in 1911 as a memorial to some of the Tebbutt family and is kept in working order by the Bluntisham Feoffees charity.

It is likely to be the church mentioned in the Domesday record for Bluntisham, however the original building no longer exists.

St Mary's is a Grade I listed building with an organ and regular bell ringing sessions.

[24] John Wheatley, a local carpenter, was a member of the Church and built the Meeting House and School buildings in the 19th century.
