St Peter's, Easton
There was no church mentioned here at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086, but it is thought that there was a church here shortly afterwards, by the beginning of the 12th century. Fragments of carved stone built in the walls date from that time. That early building would have been a basic structure of chancel and aisleless nave. Around 1300 considerable alterations were made to St Peter. A south aisle was added and the chancel arch was re-built.
The tower and elegant broache spire were added towards the end of the 14th century. There were four bells hanging here at the time of Rev Oven's late Victorian look at the church bells of Huntingdonshire. The first bell was made by famous Peterborough founder Henry Penn in 1718. The third bell was the most recent, being cast by Taylor of St Neots in 1821. The other two were both founded by Newcombe Watts in Leicester and are of considerable age and interest. - Ken Ince (photographer)
