St Etheldreda, Reach

History of St Etheldreda

Listed Building

Parish church built in 1860 to south of original church of St John now only surviving as ruined east wall.


Vanishing Cambridge p.157 reports that the church was struck by lightening in 1958 and severely damaged. All the lights in the village went out. Electricity had only arrived at Reach five years before.

A lane in Reach with traditional houses lining the left and right sides and a distant church spire visible in the center.
