Ufford Northamptonshire
13-14c Church of St Andrew, Ufford Northamptonshire (also claimed to be in Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire !) stands on high ground at the edge of the village - The nave lacking a clerestory is at a lower pitch than the late 13c chancel, 15c South Porch and west tower which has a cast iron bell frame containing 4 bells, 2 of which date from the first half of the 15c.
Inside is a large monument to Lady Bridget Carr "who served the late Queen Elizabeth of most famous memory, being one of the gentlewomen of her Majesty’s Privy Chamber for the space of five and twenty years, and afterwards served the most renowned Queen Anne, wife to our most gracious sovereign, King James, for the space of 14 years" www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/TwJku3
In July 2015 it was reopened to the public following 9 months and half a million pounds worth of repairs to preserve its historic fabric for the future.
The church has been in the care of The Churches Conservation Trust since October 2014 who have restored it including the re-roofing of the distinctive Collyweston stone roof, repairs to masonry and glazing and conservation of its monuments.
