Stow Longa is a small village and parish in Huntingdonshire, within the county of Cambridgeshire in England. It sits in a quietly rural landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and small woods, with a dispersed cluster of houses rather than a dense centre; the population is modest and the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work.
The village is best known for its historic parish church, which contains noteworthy medieval wall paintings and fine stonework that draw interest from visitors and architectural historians. A handful of listed buildings and traces of earlier settlement give Stow Longa a pleasingly old-fashioned character, and local life tends to revolve around the church, village events and the surrounding countryside rather than commercial activity.
