- Abbotsley, Cambridgeshire (St Margaret's Church)
This large church, in a pretty village setting, was built in the 13th-and 14th-centuries.
Crowning the impressive tower are four statues at its corners, said to be King William the Conqueror, King Harold, King Macbeth and King Malcolm. Malcolm's wife, Margaret, was canonised in 1250.
In the south aisle is an elaborate tomb recess, linked to the Tillys who held the manor from 1312 and may have paid for the church.
The sensitive 1861 restoration of the church was by Butterfield, who also designed many of the fittings.
The chancel is still in use as the parish church.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

The issue of tithing in church has confused so many believers in recent time.
The question is, 'Is compulsory to pay tithe in church?' Some faithful christians say that there are secrets most pastors vowed never to reveal to church members.
What do you have to say in this issue?
