St Nicholas Parish Church, Arrington, 1913
© Cambridgeshire Collection

Image: 1913, winter scene, looking due west, quality of the available image (digital) is rated 'excellent'.
Location: On the road between Arrington and Croydon. Arrington village is behind us and the road to the left leads to Croydon.

Very little seems to have changed in the past 90+ years, although it is striking how few trees can be seen in the earlier photograph.

Kelly's Directory 1904: "The church of St Nicholas is a small but ancient edifice of stone, chiefly in the Perpendicular style, with some reputed Saxon remains, consisting of chancel, nave, south porch and an embattled tower of brick with a low spire and containing one bell: the church was restored in 1894 at a cost of £300, and affords 150 sittings."

For a personal view, further information and modern photographs, go the Cambridgeshire Churches site and St Nicholas, Arrington.
