Cambridge Dave's 2021

By CambridgeDave

A trend-setting thatched church

St Michael's Church, Longstanton, Cambridgeshire captured in late afternoon sunlight.

Worth a visit. Maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT). From their website:

'This church is typically and appealingly English in its setting. It is an adorable small village church in a quiet and idyllic corner. No wonder Americans built churches near Philadelphia and in South Dakota in imitation of St Michael's, with its perky double bellcote and thatched roof. Lovers of architecture will admire the superb thirteenth-century double piscina in the south chancel wall, with its two drains set beneath intersecting arches, similar to one in Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge.'
