Conington - Church of All Saints

Conington All Saints Church (Cambridgeshire Historic Churches Trust). Limited opening.

The fine, lofty pinnacles of Conington's magnificent tower can be seen from the Great North Road and from the main line to Edinburgh; a closer view, across a field, shows a very handsome late medieval church, built as a whole at the end of the 15th century with only minor embellishments later. It is a Grade I Listed building well lit by large clear Perpendicular windows in the nave and clerestory; there are good arches, piscina and sedilia, original nave roof and chapel screens, as well as excellent pews, and other furnishings dating from 1841. The monuments, two by Grinling Gibbons, include those to a Scottish king, a prince and to three centuries of Cotons.
