Longstowe church - detail
The Madonna and child group is fitting for the church's dedication to St Mary the Virgin. Note the variable wear on the polychrome bricks!
The church was locked when I visited it, apparently in a bid to keep out the swallows nesting in the porch.

Church of St Mary the Virgin
Only the late 14th-century tower remains of the medieval church, which burned down in 1719 and lay derelict until rebuilt in 1864 by Colonel William Milner Fawcett of Cambridge in what Pevsner describes as "a boring 13th-century style". Unusually for these parts, the material is mainly Norfolk carstone, mixed with more local clunch and field stones and with dressings in white limestone from Ketton in Rutland. Two of Fawcett's signature ventilation louvres can be seen high on the nave roof.
It stands apart from the village and away from the road, in a churchyard planted with yews, rowans and an enormous cedar.

Longstowe: the approach to St Mary's Church
Like the lychgate, most of the church is Victorian, but the tower is mediaeval.
