Denton is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Denton and Caldecote, in Cambridgeshire, England. Denton lies approximately 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Huntingdon. Denton is situated within Huntingdonshire which is a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire as well as being a historic county of England. Denton has approximately 12 houses. In 1931 the parish had a population of 76.All Saints' Church in Denton, substantially rebuilt 1629–1671, but with 12th- and 13th-century elements, was abandoned in the early 1960s and is currently in a ruinous state. It is largely the result of rebuilding campaigns of 1629 and 1665 by the antiquary, Sir Robert Cotton, 1st Baronet, of Connington (1571-1631) and his grandson, Sir John Cotton, 3rd Baronet (1621-1702). However, the roofless church and tower remain Grade II listed and occasional services and events are held within. In 2024, the Diocese of Ely has plans for conversion to a house.
