ST. MARY VIRGIN, NORTHILL, SG19

Located three and a half miles from Biggleswade, St Mary Virgin, Northill was purchased under Dame Margaret Slaney’s Trust in 1620. The tower contains a turret clock, reputedly built in 1663 by Thomas Tompion from Northill. The Living was put in suspension following the retirement of the incumbent in 1996, and in 1998 it was united with the benefices of Caldecote and Old Warden to form the Benefice of Caldecote, Northill and Old Warden.
