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.
On the north wall of the Chancel is a monument to Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke KCB (1768-1831) and his two wives Elizabeth Weake Rattray (1773-1812) and Urania Anne Paulett with descriptive tablet, naval trophies and emblems, and a female mourner in white.
