Nice village church

A nice find off the A413 is St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell. It's easy to miss as it is down a lane; St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell is a captivating historical site. This church showcases a blend of architectural styles from the late 11th century to the 19th century, with Norman, 13th-century, and Victorian features. Inside, the church houses the tombs of the Dayrell family, providing a glimpse into local history. The church's serene location, outside the modern village surrounded by countryside in and near Manor Farm, enhances its timeless appeal.

The church stands at the centre of an Iron Age hillfort. Church Way follows the curve of the eastern rampart, you can see the western rampart running through the field. Good views from here.

Very good coffee and warm sausage rolls

A nice little coffee shop with inside and outside seating . Built to blend in with the new housing in Deanshanger

"The square W tower of Wicken church was erected by Robert, Lord Spencer in 1617, but the remainder of the medieval building was taken down in 1753, after it was found to be unsafe. The cost of rebuilding was met by Thomas Prowse, described as the designer of the church on a tablet in the N aisle. It was completed by 1770, and comprises a nave with aisles of equal height, N and S transepts and a square chancel. The church was restored in 1838, and again by Matthew Holding in 1896-97. In the latter restoration the chancel was lengthened to the E, the S transept was added, and a boiler-room built at the W end of the N aisle. The 12thc. font may be the sole relic of an earlier structure on the site." Cit. https://www.crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=8140
