Geocache Description:

Another pretty church in an area of Cambridgeshire close to friends of mine's house.



St Mary, Brinkley is a little dull on the outside. Most of it looks depressingly Victorian: the windows are all very new, and the walls have horizontal bands of ochre stone punctuating the flint surface. The only real features of interest are the west tower and the porch. The former is a nice 13th century structure with a fine chequered flushwork base course, and diagonal buttresses. It's mostly quite plain, but the west window is grand and Perpendicular.Inside, the extent of the Victorian restoration is clear. The basic structure is old, but it was given a very thorough scrubbing up between 1874 and 1875, when the chancel and clerestory were rebuilt, new aisles were put in and the nave was repainted and refloored.

If any body would like to expand to this series please do, could you please let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
