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

[2] Local landmarks include Manor Farm, which opens annually each Spring for "Lambing Sunday",[3] and the Church of All Saints.

In 1085 William the Conqueror ordered that a survey should be carried out across his kingdom to discover who owned which parts and what it was worth.

[8] The Domesday Book does not explicitly detail the population of a place but it records that there were twenty households at Morborne.

The Domesday Book uses a number of units of measure for areas of land that are now unfamiliar terms, such as hides and ploughlands.

In different parts of the country, these were terms for the area of land that a team of eight oxen could plough in a single season and are equivalent to 120 acres (49 hectares); this was the amount of land that was considered to be sufficient to support a single family.

[8] The tax assessment in the Domesday Book was known as geld or danegeld and was a type of land-tax based on the hide or ploughland.

For Morborne the highest tier of local government is Cambridgeshire County Council which has administration buildings in Cambridge.

[13] Cambridgeshire County Council consists of 69 councillors representing 60 electoral divisions.

[14] Morborne is part of the electoral division of Norman Cross[12] and is represented on the county council by two councillors.
