The church, dedicated to St Pandionia and St John the Baptist, stands immediately west of the green and several buildings from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries stand along its edge, suggesting that the green has been at the centre of the village for a long time.

Eltisley Cricket Club was established in 1854 and a thatched pavilion stands on the village green.

[2] During World War II, several babies were born in Mill House on The Green in Eltisley, the local nurse–midwife, Mrs Nell Rose (1905-1990), having taken in pregnant mothers for their confinements.

[13] The soil is a heavy clay on gault which, coupled with the terrain, made drainage difficult.

Bus No.X3 operates Mondays to Saturdays with one trip in each direction: leaving Eltisley early morning, returning from Cambridge late afternoon.

[15] Two plaques in the churchyard's lych gate commemorate Eltisley men who were killed in the First and Second World Wars.

[16] Some 17 buildings and constructions in Eltisley are listed, including a red telephone box,[17] a village pump[18] and a mile stone on the St Ives road.

Robert Palmer, vicar in 1575, destroyed a well in the churchyard where St Pandionia's body was meant to have been buried originally (in 1576 he was accused of taking church paving for his own use, permitting the vicarage to be used as an ale-house and playing cards when he should have been in church).

Robert Palmer may have defaced some monumental effigies during his incumbency and in 1644, William Dowsing destroyed a St Christopher.

[20] In 1835 a Wesleyan Methodist chapel was constructed; in 1851 the congregation numbered 120 and 45 children came to Sunday school.
