Continuity of life in one place

Adèle of this parish has a post about the church of St Mary the Virgin, in Great Shelford, on The History Girls blog today:

There has been a place of worship here on this site since Saxon times but the present church was built by Thomas Patesely between 1396 and 1418. The village celebrated a 600th birthday in 1996, so I’m calling it 616 years old.

Adèle tells much more about it – and with pictures. Don’t miss it.
