More about this scene

The parish church of St Andrew must be the most beautiful of all the fenland churches. The two octagons of the tower can be seen for miles around, and were used as a beacon by those travelling by boat through Willingham Mere. The church was begun by Bishop Barnet in 1366, and completed by Bishop Arundel in 1388. The carved heads of Bishop Arundel and King Richard II are in the church porch.
