Ken Ince's Pictures of Glatton

St Nicholas, Glatton

Glatton itself is just lovely. There are a large number of exquisite 17th century cottages to be found here, particularly in High Haden Road, where the church is.   There was mention of a church here in the Domesday Survey of 1086, but nothing of that structure remains. The earliest parts of the present church date from the 12th century, when an aisled church existed. A previous tower here dated from the 12th or 13th century. There was a large amount of rebuilding done here at the end of the 15th century. The nave arcades were rebuilt, as was the west tower, which was rebuilt circa 1500. The roof of the nave was restored in 1615, and the roof of the transept and north aisles were renewed in 1701. More restoration came about in Victorian times, and again in the early 1930's, when the nave roof was restored again.
