St Andrew, Wimpole, Cambridgeshire
(Click on an image for a larger version)
St Andrew is a dramatic example of what happens when a noble family entirely dominates a village. There was a medieval church here, surrounded by a little medieval village, but little of it now exists: Only a small side chapel remains,and even that has been restored almost out of all recognition. The rest of the church is a rebuilding of 1749
A white marble memorial by Westmacott the elder in Greek style, with two parents in attitudes of grief with reclining child at their feet, commemorating the Hon John Yorke MP the youngest son of the1st Earl of Hardwicke, who died in 1801.
