St Mary's, Cowbit
There has been a church here on this site since 1380. This original structure appears to have been very basic. In 1480 the west tower was built, with the nave being extended at the same time. The church was consecrated, and dedicated to St Mary, in 1486. The battlemented and buttressed tower is a curiously shaped affair, and has a modern effigy of Mary and the infant Jusus in an ancient recess. It was mentioned earlier that the church was sinking. Anyone standing outside the church walls to the west of the tower, and looking down, will see how sharply the tower has sunk over the years. See Peterborough Churchcrawler for further information. - Ken Ince (photographer)
