Brington

These parts just kept getting prettier and prettier and All Saints, open, is simply stunning though, sadly, it's another somewhat dull interior.Having said that the location more than makes up for any internal deficiency.

ALL SAINTS. Slender Dec W tower with low-broached spire. Three tiers of lucarnes. The bell-openings are of two lights with a transom. There is a frieze above them. The steep roof of the chancel is higher than the embattled aisleless nave. The nave has on the S side an attractive Dec window of uncommon details. The chancel is mostly 1868 (Slater), but the DOUBLE AUMBRY is C13 work. - FONT COVER. Jacobean. Simple, conical, with a ball finial. - STAINED GLASS. Bits in one S window. - PLATE. Plate of 1638—9 (or 1678-9) ; Cup of 1663-4.

BRINGTON. We wonder if Huntingdonshire has a quieter spot than this. There is a delightful thatched cottage 300 years old near a fragment of a wayside cross, a farm with two barns built before the Mayflower, and a small church tucked away with a 14th century tower and a spire lit by three rows of dormer windows. The nave is 14th century and the chancel 15th. The font must be 700 years old, the altar table is 17th century, and in the windows of the nave are fragments of rich glass, with oak leaves which have not withered in six hundred years.
