Cut Mark, Church of St.Mary Magdalene, Church Street, Ickleton, Cambridgeshire. CB10 1SR - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

The parish Church of St Mary Magdalene is Grade I listed. It has C11th work in the nave and arcades, clerestorey, north aisle and lower part of the tower. There are late C13th or early C14th inserted arches to the north and south of the central tower and transepts. The central tower was heightened c.1340, which was probably allowed following the insertion of the reinforcing arches. The south aisle was widened and rebuilt with the south transept about this time as well. In the C14th a new south porch and upper clerestorey was added together with a new nave roof. Next a spire was added to tower and the south porch was rebuilt with a vaulted roof in the late C14th. The chancel was rebuilt mid C15th and the north chapel and vestry added. From the C18th much rebuilding was required; the chancel was rebuilt retaining the C15th details in 1882-5. Restorations of the nave roof in 1908-9, and again in 1935, and the steeple was repaired in 1948. A fire in the south transept in 1979 destroyed the roof but subsequent cleaning revealed Cl2th wall paintings in the nave.

About 6m from the north-east angle of the chancel going along the north wall we find this very well preserved cut mark. It's 34.942m above Newlyn datum, and 0.5m above ground level. It was last verified in 1968.
