I stumbled upon this church by accident when I was on tagging along on a day trip to Cambridge and had a few hours on my own to explore the city.

These are terrific. What makes them so irresistible? is it their strangeness?
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame the Church website has nothing to say about them. I, too, was captivated by them.
