St Vigor's with All Saints, Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
There were two churches within the same graveyard, St. Vigor's and All Saints. The latter church was ruined in 1766 when its tower and bells collapsed and it was later demolished and its materials sold.
The fifteenth-century cadaver tomb of John Caraway, Rector from 1395 to 1441, is still in its original position on the North side of the Sanctuary. Its great interest derives from its being the earliest tomb containing a single figure without an effigy above and the only stone cadaver in a wooden tomb.
