Fowlmere: St Mary - from the west
"A sizeable [Grade I listed] cruciform church of flint and pebble rubble, much restored in 1869" (Nikolaus Pevsner). Unusually there is no south aisle. Towers with lead-covered spikes are quite common in this part of Cambridgeshire, close to Hertfordshire, where there are many. Nearby Thriplow has a similar feature. This picture was taken on a bright and blowy October morning.
