A crumbling cut benchmark on this old medieval church at Knapwell in rural Cambridgeshire.
The village has had a church since at least 1180. The present church, dedicated to All Saints, was probably built in the early 14th century. The medieval church had a long, low chancel and a three-bay aisled nave all under a single roof, and a west tower. In 1864 the medieval church was demolished, except for the tower, and rebuilt in a plain Gothic style. The original 14th century tower is built of field stones dressed with limestone and is unbuttressed.
Unfortunately this church is kept locked and no keyholder is available.
