Godmanchester, Civil parish and town in Huntingdonshire, England.

Godmanchester sits on the south bank of the River Great Ouse, featuring roads arranged in a pentagon shape within its central district.

The settlement began as the Roman town of Durovigutum, with archaeological findings confirming continuous human presence for over 2000 years in this location.

The town received its first charter from King John in 1212, establishing it as a significant trading center between London and northern England.

The town connects to major transportation routes through the A14 highway, providing direct access to both the West Midlands and eastern ports.

Farm Hall in Godmanchester served as a monitored detention facility for German nuclear scientists during Operation Epsilon in 1945.
