Excerpt from Architectural and Historical Notices of the Churches of Cambridgeshire The following architectural and historical sketches of some of the more interesting churches in Cambridgeshire, have been compiled from notes taken and collected by myself at various times during my residence at Cambridge. They do not, of course, pretend to give anything like V-an exhaustive history of the parishes, but all the more interesting historical facts have, I trust, been mentioned. The architectural criticisms (if such they may be called) are original, though since some of the churches were visited, restoration has, I believe, caused considerable alterations in the fabric, and incongruities of late date have been removed. It will be seen that I have not omitted noticing the late monuments or slabs of the 17th and 18th centuries, as, though these are not generally mentioned in such books as this, yet there is always some interest attached to them. A great deal of information has been obtained from the valuable Ms collections of William Cole (the antiquary of the last century) in the Library of the British Museum; and the Mss of Lysons, Layer and Blomefield, besides various printed authorities, have also been consulted.
