Nordelph church was built of brick in 1865 on waterlogged ground and fir trees have drawn all the moisture from the earth. The result can be seen above. Take heed all PCCs who think trees are a good thing in a churchyard. By the time this guide reaches the shops in November 2010 houses will have taken its place the site having been sold to developers. It was never going to be a fabulous church and during its relatively short life it was more of a chapel. No burials ever took place here. Some of the contents worth keeping have been moved to Ely for safe keeping until another church needs them. Obviously everything inside the church was Victorian, so nothing exciting there! The porch was removed 10 years ago when it parted company with the church.
