St Wendreda’s Church

A medieval church famed for its magnificent double-hammerbeam angel roof, one of the great treasures of the Cambridgeshire Fens.

The timber roof is the great draw: ranks of carved angels look down from its double hammerbeams, turning the church interior into an extraordinary work of medieval craftsmanship. The building has served the local community for centuries and still offers a quiet place to appreciate the artistry of its makers. Look up from several points in the nave to take in the scale and detail of the carvings. St Wendreda’s also shows how remarkable heritage can be found beyond the better-known cathedral cities of the Fens.
