More about this scene
St Katharine was the patron saint of millers, saddlers, wheelwrights and teachers - all trades and professions which appropriately flourished in Ickleford. A tunnel leads from the church to the nearby Old George public house. It runs beneath the car park, but has now been blocked off. Built in the 12th century, St Katharine's was reconstructed in 1859 by gift of the Ryder family under the direction of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. In the churchyard stands the grave of Henry Boswell, a gypsy king, who boasted that he lived through the reign of three Georges and that he knew every road in the land.
