[2] Devil's Dyke (or Ditch), an Anglo-Saxon earthwork built between the Cambridgeshire villages of Reach and Wood Ditton, runs through Stetchworth.

It consists of a ditch and a mound of earth which continues for over seven miles, and is a popular place for local walks.

The Devils Dyke Morris Men dance along its length to end up at the 800-year-old Reach Fair on May Day.

The village had 25 inhabitants at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 when the parish was owned by Hardwin of Scales, the Abbot of Ely, and Count Alan.

[3] The railway reached the parish when the Cambridge to Newmarket line was opened in 1848, though there is no station in Stetchworth.

The church boasts examples of early English graffiti (apparently carved into a pillar during a visit to Stetchworth by Queen Philippa) depicting a woman in an elaborate head-dress, and several animals.

Former pubs include The White Horse which opened opposite Church Lane in the first half of the 19th century, and rebuilt for the Earl of Ellesmere in 1905.

In 1883, the estate passed to Francis Egerton, 3rd Earl of Ellesmere, who founded Stetchworth Park Stud.
