Just to save ANY confusion the county of Huntingdonshire is currently a "district" as far as local government boundaries are concerned but in the minds of everyone who lives here it is still a county. The government of the day knew this when they changed the boundaries because they left the name as a 'shire', likely as not it will soon be a county again the next time the government plays with the local government boundaries. When will they learn to stop fiddling about with things that have worked well for over a thousand years?

If you are interested in ensuring that we keep our heritage and maintain the geographical county of Huntingdonshire, then why not join the Huntingdonshire Society or visit the town in 2005 during the 800th anniversary celebrations of the signing of the Town Charter by King John
