Caldecote Church Cambridgeshire

Records of a Caldecote chapel date from Norman times and, by the 1300s, the villagers had developed a chapel into a church with a tower, with bells and a nave. During Victoria’s reign the tower and nave were rebuilt and a chancel added. The organ has a long history from around 1720, this being its fifth home in the area. Yesterday the light through the windows was beautiful and the cobwebs and bat droppings seemed to add to the feel of a real community church.
