Great Stukeley is a village in Huntingdonshire. It and neighbouring Little Stukeley are collectively known as The Stukeleys.
The Stukeleys stand in the middle of the county, a little to the northwest of the county town, Huntingdon, along the local road out of Huntingdon towards Alconbury. Great Stukeley lies to the southeast of its smaller neighbour.
The parish church in Great Stukeley is St Bartholomew's; a fine, mediaeval church. The village's three 'ends' are grouped around the parkland of Stukeley Hall, a late Georgian country house.
The village is modest, but well served with a post office, a village hall and a recreation ground. There is one modern public house, the Three Horseshoes and a country hotel converted from a 16th Century farmhouse. Inevitably Great Stukeley looks south to Huntingdon for the greater part of its shopping and facilities
RAF Alconbury stretches all along the northeast side of the road from Alconbury, the whole length of Little Stukeley to the edge of Great Stukeley.
