The village of Tydd St. Giles, Cambridgeshire, England was founded in the late 1000s with the building of the church of St. Giles in 1084 on a natural rise in the land of the Fens. The church itself is built of Barnack Stone, known to be the gift of the Bishop of Peterborough. The name 'Tydd' is thought to derive from the same word from which we obtain the placename element 'Staithe' but compare the Welsh 'tyddyn' meaning 'smallholding'. Although many Fenland names derive from Anglo Saxon words, a few scattered around Wisbech include either Celtic topographical elements or Anglo Saxon words referencing the native British population.

It is the northernmost village in Cambridgeshire (bordering Lincolnshire), on the same latitude as Midlands towns such as Loughborough, Leicestershire and Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
