Pidley

Unusually for a new build [1864-5 by William Fawcett of Cambridge] I rather liked the exterior of All Saints, locked with two keyholders listed, but, after  peering through the windows, not enough to warrant a search for the key. Apparently there's a good 1930s window.

ALL SAINTS. 1864-5 by William Fawcett of Cambridge. Nave and chancel. W tower with tiled broach spire. Small lancet windows. Inside exposed brick. - PLATE. Cup of 1576-7; Cover Paten of 1758-9.

PIDLEY. It has two 18th century houses, a farm which was ploughed when Cromwell was a farmer in Huntingdon, and a modern church which seems to have climbed the hill for the magnificent view. In a corner of the churchyard is a fragment of a stone coffin lid with a cross on it, the one thing that has survived the passing of seven centuries in this small place.
