More about this scene
The landscape designer Lancelot `Capability` Brown is buried here at Fenstanton with his wife and children. He bought the manor of Fenstanton in 1768 for £13,000. Brown would have been proud of the pollarded walkway through the churchyard, which even today is perfectly maintained. A bell was given to the church in 1981 by the John Howland Society of America: at the time of religious intolerance, Howland emigrated from Fenstanton to America aboard the Mayflower in 1620. The fine spire dominates the skyline and announces Fenstanton across the low-lying Fenland.
