Papworth Everard is a large village and civil parish in the district of South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside roughly to the west of Cambridge. It has a mix of traditional village amenities - a parish church, primary school, shops and a pub - alongside a small business estate, so many residents commute into nearby urban centres while others work locally in light industry and services.
The village is best known for the early 20th‑century Papworth Village Settlement, a pioneering community and set of workshops established for people recovering from tuberculosis, which spawned social enterprises and gave the place a distinctive cooperative history; the long‑associated Papworth Hospital later became a nationally important cardiothoracic centre before relocating to Cambridge. Today Papworth Everard retains an active community life with clubs, events and walking routes across the surrounding farmland, reflecting both its historic roots and its role as a commuter and small‑business hub.
