DAYS OUT/CHURCHES: Wiggenhall St Germans Church

Wiggenhall St Germans Church.

Usually churches like this have a Saintly name. Not, it seems, in this case. That said, I did find one website calling it Saint Germain (note the added ‘i’!).

The river Great Ouse.

The church is right beside the Great Ouse. Outside…

Inside…

One very striking feature here, are the large numbers of carved wooden figures on the ends of the pews. Some have been defaced. Many have not.

As with pretty much all old churches, look hard enough, and there will be something – often many things – making a trip to visit the place well worth making.

In this case it’s all the wood carving. Definitely worth a look.
