Ramsey St Mary

St Mary, locked no keyholder, is a not very likeable large new build and I'm fairly sure the interior would have been as drab as the exterior had I gained access. It felt rather rundown and unloved.

ST MARY. Built in 1858 at the expense of Miss Emma Fellowes (cf. Ramsey). It is a strikingly large church for its situation in the sparsely populated fenland. But churches in such neglected parts were specially urgently needed (cf. e.g. the Parts of Lindsey in Lincs.). Yellow brick with a NW tower, nave, aisles, and chancel. Tracery of before and after 1300. The chancel arch rests on demi-figures of angels with a positive-organ and a lute. The STAINED GLASS is original.

Mee ignored it.
