This is an almost complete example of a late C14th to early C15th, Late Decorated to Early Perpendicular, parish church, known variously as the 'Queen of the Marshlands' or the 'Cathedral of the Fens'.
The cut bench mark is on a buttress at the north-west corner of the tower, on the west face of the northward aligned buttress. Last verified in 1964 it was recorded as being 4.377m above the Newlyn datum and is 0.800m above ground.
