The Church of St Mary-The-Less


THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY-THE-LESS which stands on the site of a Norman or Saxon Church, and is supposed to have been designed by Alan de Walsingham, Prior of Ely, was consecrated in 1352, as St Mary-the-Less.

The Church is without aisles or division between nave and chancel, in the Decorated style with some Perpendicular restorations.

In the fourth bay, on each side, is a low arch beneath which was formerly a monument, with a small door to the west giving access to a chantry Chapel built out between the buttresses.
