Manea, Cambridgeshire

St Nicholas, locked, no keyholder, is another somewhat drab Victorian build but I did like the yew topiary bushes - three yellow and three green. The graveyard to the south has recently, or is currently being, been cleared but there's little of interest here either.

Parish Church. 1875. By James Ruddle of Peterborough. Coursed limestone rubble and limestone dressings. Slate roofs. Thirteenth century style. Nave and transept with main entrance in north aisle. Three foiled round clerestory windows, two two-light aisle windows in two-centred arches and transept window of three cinquefoil-lights. Main entrance with moulded two-centred arch. Interior walls brick faced. Neo-Gothic decoration to arcade of three bays and chancel and crossing arches. Nave roof of nine bays braced collar-beam construction; chancel roof arch braced with corbels of carved stone angels supporting wall posts. Memorial glass by Mayer and Co, London, 1892. Church rebuilt on old site.

 

Another one Mee missed - that's three in this, not very large, area.
