History

Built in 1866–8 of brick on a foundation of wooden piles by R R Rowe. [1] The church has a nave, central bell turret, transepts, and south porch. [2] The elaborately carved font of Italian marble, perhaps from Carrara, was given to Ely Cathedral by Dean Spencer in 1693. [1] The font cover is hung from the ceiling by the figure of an angel. [2] After the church was declared redundant in 2011, the font was returned to the cathedral. [1] The 1691 bell was also given by Ely Cathedral. [3] The baptism register starts in 1874 and the marriages in 1864. There is no graveyard as nearby Ely is used. [2]
