Benchmark, All Saints - Covington, Cambridgeshire - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark on the north east angle of All Saints' church, Covington. (Also listed as St Margeret's church, Covington).

"All Saints' is an aisleless church with a 12thc nave, an early 13thc chancel rebuilt with a new chancel arch c.1300, and a W tower of c.1330, altered c.1500. The tower may have had a spire, but if so this was removed c.1500. It now has a pyramidal roof. A chapel was added to the S of the nave in the early 14thc, but it was removed in the 15thc and the entrance arch blocked. There was a major restoration in 1882-83, when a vestry and organ chamber were added to the N of the chancel. The exterior walls are of stone rubble with traces of mortar render on the N wall. Romanesque features are the N nave doorway, the plain S priest's doorway, the font, and various carved stones set into the exterior walls. There are further architectural fragments reset inside the N vestry, high on the S wall,"
