St Margaret's, Upton, Huntingdonshire
There are two Uptons in Cambridgeshire. One to the NW of Peterborough and this one to the N of Alconbury near Huntingdon.
There has been a church in Upton since before the Domesday Survey of 1086. No part of that structure now remains though, with the earliest parts of the present church being the south porch, and the font, both of which date from the 12th century. The chancel, the nave arcades and the south aisle all date from the early 13th century. The tower is 15th century, and replaced a bellcote which stood there previously. In 1870 the churc underwent a complete reconstruction, when the north aisle was rebuilt and widened, a vestry was built on the north side of the chancel, both aisles were restored, the roofs were renewed, and a south porch was added. There are two bells in the tower. - Ken Ince (photographer)
