Priory Church, Deeping St James
© Ken Ince (view gallery)
It is obvious by the size of this church that it was more than the parish church of a small village.The church is 180 feet long, and the spire can be seen up to ten miles away! It was, in fact, founded as part of a Benedictine Priory. In common with other monastic buildings, Deeping Priory was dissolved in 1539. The church was retained for parish worship, whilst the Priory buildings fell in to ruin, until the stone was used to build a manor house in the seventeenth century. During the dissolution of the priory, the rood screen was taken down and burned on the village green, with the burning supervised by the church warderns. The tower on the west end is more modern than the rest of the building. When I saw it I thought that the tower looked 18th Century, and a little research indicates that the original tower collapsed in 1717, as a result of years of flooding. Six bells hang here. See Peterborough Churchcrawler for further information.
