Guyhirn Chapel, Wisbech

This little Chapel of Ease was built in 1660, when Cromwell’s Commonwealth ended and the monarchy was restored, but neither the returning Stuarts nor the restoring Victorians altered its simple and austere appearance and it reflects, most movingly, 17th century Puritan worship. The plain stone and brick walls and floors, the pantile roof, the plain glass windows, the low pulpit and the upright, narrow pews (unsuited to kneeling) all tell the tale.
