  • The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Ickleton

• "The church of St Mary Magdalene is a large building of stone in the Early Norman style, some portions being, however, of later date : it consists of chancel, nave, aisle, south transept, south porch and a central tower with a lofty spire, containing a clock and 6 bells, which were re-cast and rehung in 1928: in the north aisle is a memorial window to the Hon. Algernon Herbert, d. 11 June, 1855, and there is another, erected in 1906 to Sir Robert George Wyndham Herbert G.C.B., D.C.L. LL.D. d. 6 May, 1905: the walls bear some ancient frescoes, much obscured by time: on the jambs of the clerestory windows are various figures, and the tower ceiling is also painted : the nave arcades are supposed to be Saxon: a part of the rood loft and a screen of Perpendicular date remain, the under part of the rood loft being richly traceried : in 1886 a marble memorial was erected to Sir Leger Algernon Herbert C.M.G. war correspondent, who was killed at Abu Klea in the Soudan, January 17, 1885 : the chancel was entirely rebuilt by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1882-3, and retains a piscina and sedilia, and in 1885 further restorations were effected by Sir Robert Herbert G.C.B. and others, the total cost amounting to £1,416: in 1908-9 the church was again restored, when new windows were put in, the roof of the nave renewed and a weather vane erected on the steeple: during the restoration a good deal of Norman and earlier work was discovered : the church affords 300 sittings. The register dates from the year 1558."
• "There is a Congregational chapel, erected in 1842, which has 200 sittings, and a Primitive Methodist chapel, built in 1852."
