Village and civil parish in England

Colne is a village and civil parish in Cambridgeshire, England. Colne lies about 9 mile (14 km) east of Huntingdon; the villages of Bluntisham, Woodhurst, and Somersham are close by. Colne is situated within Huntingdonshire which is a non metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire as well as being a historic county of England.

The village was known as Collen in the 13th century and Colneye in the 14th century. The name is pronounced like "cone".

The ancient church of St Helen was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. Its walls were chiefly of stone and rubble, but parts of it were brick and the roof was tiled. The nave and aisle were covered with one continuous roof in 1807. On 24 April 1896 the tower fell and destroyed much of the church – the chancel, the aisle walls and the porch were all that survived. The old church was taken down and a new church was built on another site. The church had four bells, three from the 17th century and a later bell from the early 18th century. Three of the bells were removed in 1892, while the fourth fell with the tower, but was undamaged. The south porch is all that remains of the original structure. The building of the new church incorporated rescued elements from the ancient church (including partially restored 13th and 14th century windows and some of the ancient stone). Colne is a chapelry annexed with Pidley. Near to the centre of the village is the Baptist Chapel built in 1870. The chapel is now defunct.
