St Nicholas Church, Kennett, c.1920 (Cambridgeshire Collection)St Nicholas Church, Kennett
History of St Nicholas Church
Listed Building
Small parish church with an original early C13 nave, north-aisle, and chancel extended later in C13 by one bay with three very fine windows and double piscena. The tower appears to be late C13 or early C14, and to have been completed later in C14. The north doorway is transitional in style and noteworthy. The north porch, chancel arch and screen, and tower arch are C15.
Vanishing Cambridgeshire notes: Chiefly built by Benedictine monks in 1360 it was restored by Revd William Godfrey in 1859. In 1996 masonry bees ate into the church walls and damaged the flints & the roof was repaired in 2002.
