Thesoil isclay andgravel, but the subsoil varies. The parish is watered by a tributary of theRiver Great Ouse.

Thetoponym "Preston" is common in England; it is derived from theOld English for "priest's farm". TheDomesday Book of 1086 records the village asPrestone. The affix "Bissett" came later and refers to thelords of the manor, distinguishing it from other places called Preston.
