The Church of St Mary and St Andrew

The Church of SS Mary and St Andrew is a structure of flint of the 11th Century, with additions of the 12th, 13th and 14th Centuries and consists of chancel with chantry on the south side, nave, south aisle, south porch of oak (1350) and an embattled central tower containing 6 bells. A late 12th or early 13th Century sheela-na-gig can be observed on a high window arch of the Church accompanied by an ithyphallic male figure. Roger Ascham, the tutor of Elizabeth I, lived in Whittlesford and a road in the village is named after him. Whittlesford is not only a village in Cambridgeshire but is also a hundred years old.
