PAGENAME – in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England – is a village near Waresley south of St Neots.

Originally a hamlet in the parish of Everton, Bedfordshire, Tetworth has a complicated administrative history. The hamlet, which was considered a civil parish separate from Everton from 1810, was in two distinct parts. The northern part was in Huntingdonshire, the southern partly an exclave of Huntingdonshire and partly of Bedfordshire. The Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 assigned the Bedfordshire part to Huntingdonshire, so that the entire southern section became an outlier of Huntingdonshire, separated from the rest of the county by a salient of Cambridgeshire. This situation remained until 1965, when two new counties of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely and Huntingdon and Peterborough were formed. At this time both county and parish boundaries were adjusted, Tetworth now being a single area in Huntingdon and Peterborough. In 1974 it was made part of the enlarged Cambridgeshire.

Tetworth is in the ward of Gransden and the Offords in the District of Huntingdonshire.
