Description

The Church of St. Margaret is a parish church built in 1828, likely designed by Jeptha Pacey, with repairs and alterations made in 1885. It is constructed of red brick, with some render on the plinth, and features slate roofs. The building has brick coped gables with kneelers and a modillion frieze under the eaves, along with a moulded plinth and buttresses.

The church consists of a nave, a west porch, and a small chancel. A west bellcote is present, featuring a four-centred arch flanked by single piers, with narrow blind recessed arched panels on each side. Above this is a modillion frieze with small gables to the east and west, topped with a stepped gable and a single cross. The porch is angle buttressed and has a chamfered pointed arched entrance, leading to an inner four-centred arched doorway with a door that has pointed arched panels. Above the porch is a single rectangular recessed blind panel with a Tudor style hood mould, and above that is a narrow rectangular opening.

The north nave has three bays divided by buttresses, with each bay containing a single pointed arched two-light window featuring wooden cusped panel tracery. The east nave has a single blind recessed chamfered four-centred arched panel to the right of the chancel, and the apex of the nave has a small rectangular opening. The east chancel includes a smaller two-light window and two 19th-century slate memorials beneath it. The south nave mirrors the north in design.

Inside, there is a chamfered chancel arch, pews with pointed arched panels, and a 19th-century octagonal ashlar font. This church is one of many constructed in the area following the Fen Churches Act of 1816.
