The Tower
The western tower consists of three stages surmounted by a broach spire taken down and capped in the 1950s and referred to locally and architecturally as not a happy site. The stages are, the ground floor ringing area room, the intermediate chamber and the bell chamber. Access to the intermediate floor is by a newel stair turret situated in the southeast corner of the tower. The intermediate chamber is quite small owing to the thickness of the stone walls. The floor, ie the ringing room ceiling, is in good sound condition, sitting on 4 beams laying east to west.
Location of the Steeple:
Church of St Lawrence
Bythorn, Camb's United KIngdom
Approximate Date of Construction: 14th century remodelled in 1950's
