DAYS OUT: All Saints, Cottenham

A slight vertical pano’, to get the tower in.

I’ve passed this church countless times over the years. But until now, I’ve not stopped to take a look. I don’t pass it all that often more recently. Bit in this rather grim wet day, I finally stopped to investigate. And I’m glad I did.

I love these stepped alcoves!

The series of alcoves above are intriguing. Wonder what they housed? And when they were emptied? They were probably figures. And most likely removed during the Reformation. But I’m just guessing.

Even the plainer windows have charm.
A wee model of the church.
The nave.
The roof.

And then it’s time to leave…

Fragments of a figure.
Defining the term defaced!
