Brief description

"The Parish Church of St. Nicholas lies in the centre of the village and was recorded in the Domesday Book. It is likely that most of the Churches mentioned in the 1086 survey would have been constructed of wood, but several architectural historians have reasoned that Glatton unusually may have been of stone. Nothing now remains of this early Church, although Saxon relics have been unearthed in recent years. The earliest part of the present Church are the Nave Arcades which were built around the year 1200 and have double chamfered round arches, although some re-used stones in the Church itself are crude enough to be Anglo-Saxon. According to the Victoria County History of Huntingdon, the rebuilding started in the 13th Century with additions, alterations and renewals until the Church was reopened with great pomp and ceremony on 23rd April 1869 after a complete restoration. The Bishop and 26 Clergy attended followed by a luncheon in Lord Sherrard’s house."
