Tadlow is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, England on the River Cam (or Rhee). It is 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-west of Cambridge and 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. In 2001 the population was 181 and the area of the village is 681 hectares (1,683 acres).
History
Tadlow's name is derived from the burial ground or 'Tumulus of a man named Tada', perhaps an Anglo-Saxon chieftain who established it.[2] It was spelled Tadeslaue in 1080 and Tadelai in the 1086 Domesday Book.[3]
There were 28 peasants present in 1086; the population peaked around 1300 but fell after 1400 to a level which it maintained until the 19th century. Tadlow village declined after 1660. The medieval village probably developed around a street running south-south-east from the church. A hamlet called Pincote (now in Hatley parish, but probably decayed after 1450. New houses were built in the 1970s between two groups of 19th-century cottages.[2]
Before the 19th century, there was an ancient route westwards from Croydon, along the hill, with another 750 metres to the south along the river. The Cambridge to Biggleswade turnpike was built in 1826.[2]
Governance
Tadlow is represented on South Cambridgeshire District Council by one councillor for The Mordens electoral ward[4] and on Cambridgeshire County Council by one councillor for the Bassingbourn electoral division.[5] It is in the parliamentary constituency of South Cambridgeshire, represented at the House of Commons by Anthony Browne.

Religious sites
St Giles's church, north of the Biggleswade to Cambridge road, is dedicated to St Giles and was founded around 1092.[2] It is built in the Early English style with a 13th-century nave, and a 14th-century western tower containing a clock and a peal of three bells including more modern Perpendicular additions.[8] It was restored by William Butterfield, whose campaign of restoration at St Giles’s spanned nearly twenty years, from 1855 to 1874.[10] The church remains in the Diocese of Ely.[11] It is a Grade II* listed building[12] and is now in the care of Friends of Friendless Churches, which looks after redundant churches in England and Wales.[13]
