Benchmark, St Mary - Stow-cum-Quy, Cambridgeshire - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark on the west corner of St Mary's church tower.

""The church of St. Mary stands in an isolated position alongside the old Cambridge-Newmarket road, but close to D’Engayne’s manor. The earliest architectural evidence is from the 12th century, indicating an aisleless nave of which one window arch survives. To this were added transepts on the north and south, immediately west of the chancel arch. The outer walls of early 13th-century date still stand on the north and the south-east, and the arch of the south transept is used in the later nave arcade. In the first half of the 14th century the church was enlarged with a rebuilt chancel, an aisled nave of four bays with four new arches on the north and three new ones on the south. Then in the late 14th century the west tower was added."
