Ufford is a fenland village in north-eastern Northamptonshire, within the [[Soke of Peterborough]. It is found just to the east of Barnack and halfway between Peterborough to the south-east and Stamford to the north-west, across in Lincolnshire.
Old parish church
St Andrew's Church is a Grade I listed mediæval church that long served the village. It is however now closed[1] and has passed into the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2]
Most of the church fabric dates from the 14th century. It consists of a nave without a clerestory, aisles, and a chancel. There is also a west tower, and a rood turret near the junction of the nave and chancel, both of which are embattled. The church contains a series of 20th-century Arts and Crafts stained glass.[3][4]

The manor house of the village is Ufford Hall, which is a Grade I listed building.[5] The house was built in 1734 by George Manners, a younger son of the Dukes of Rutland. Until his death in 1996 it was the residence of Oliver Kitson, 4th Baron Airedale.[6]
