Caldecote St Mary
Magdalene

OS: TL 236 384

St Mary's was taken on by the Friends of Friendless Churches in 1982 after a declaration of redundacy. The church is listed Grade II* and dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Special features include a crocketed stoup and a memorial to the 1st Viscount Caldecote.

The church is also of interest for its early repairs (pictured) - undertaken in the 18th century using red brick to fill in the clunch (chalk) that has worn away.

In 2006 some 500 people attended a Fucshia Festival at the church, organised by the local Caldecote Church Friends. The event takes place again this year, but over two days - on 12th and 13th July 2008.
