Wittering is a village and civil parish in the City of Peterborough unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England.

[2] The "people of Wiðer" are believed to be the same as the "Widerigga", named in the Tribal Hidage that was compiled between 600-900 AD.

This territory comprised 600 hides, so may have consisted of most of Peterborough and possibly neighbouring areas of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire.

[6] The tall Perpendicular Gothic windows in the south wall of the nave were inserted later in the Middle Ages.

In 1954 the airfield was enlarged and became a base for Handley Page Victors, which served as part of the UK's V bomber nuclear strike force until the 1960s and then as aerial refuelling tankers.

Since the UK withdrew its Harrier jump jets in 2010, RAF Wittering has been the base for a number of logistics and support units.
