St Mary's Church, Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, famous for its glorious and lofty spire rising 173 feet from ground level, supported on elegant flying buttresses from the massive ashlar faced tower. This work was undertaken in the 15th century along with the extension to the Chancel. The rest of the church dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, being constructed after a fire in 1244. The Church originally belonged to Thorney Abbey.
