The Clock Tower in Fenstanton

 

Fenstanton has many quaint and interesting houses and a curious clock-tower (see photograph above) on the Green which was formerly a 17th Century Market Hall of two storeys, the lower of which was adapted as a lock-up at a later date. The church has a magnificent chancel with an outstanding east window. The church also has a memorial to Lancelot "Capability" Brown (External website will open in a new window) the famous landscape gardener and on time Lord of the Manor of Fenstanton. He is buried in the churchyard alongside his wife and son. More notes about the History of Fenstanton.
