Above left:
Table tomb in centre of chancel,
which can just seent in the photograph of
the interior. The sides are plain but the top slab has
very worn brass indents which can just be made out in
the second photograph (right). There is a
central cross with two word scrolls on either
sides, presumably words from figures kneeling at
the base of the cross
|
Above top: Table tomb: the shields may have had brasses attached. The top slab is badly damaged but originally held brasses: there are only remains of indents of two small kneeling figures at the foot of the slab Above bottom: Grave slab on chancel floor; there is no inscription, heraldry etc but a Calvary Cross carved in relief. |
Table tomb; the back has
indents for several brasses: at least three kneeling
figures with scrolls. There is nothing on the top slab.
The shields along the side appear once to have had
brasses attached.

Westly Waterless - St Mary |
 |
| Westley Waterless is a hamlet whose curious
name (it has a large pond) comes from Old English
water-lease , meaning wet clearing. Park near the
church. The church is open daily during daylight hours. O/S Ref: TL 337 510 |

  |
| Above left: Brasses to Sir John de Creke and Wife (c. 1325). Particularly beautiful examples and very informative about the armour of the period. About life size. Above centre and right top: Stone effigy of unknown civilian; possible early 14th century. Top right bottom: Medieval coffin lids; those to the left and right have crosses while that in the centre looks like it may have been carved with an effigy. | ||

Wimpole - St Andrew |
 |
|
| On the map it's Wimpole: on the
satnav it's New Wimpole. There an Old Wimpole
too and this appears to be a nearby hamlet. Both are now in
Hertfordshire although were formerly in Cambridgeshire.
However this matters little as the church is in neither place
but rather in the grounds of Wimpole Hall, which is now a
National Trust property. You have to park in the grounds of the
hall and there is a charge of £2 for all day when I visited;
note the machine does not accept cards or notes so have the right
money ready. Parking is free to NT members. The church - which
is not NT property - is a short walk away behind the former stable
block which is now a shop. This is the church for the Wimpole
parish, even though it is in the grounds of the Hall. The church is normally
open during daylight hours. The church has neither tower nor
spire and it's easy to miss the cross on the O/S map. O/S Ref: 337 510 |
