Local abbeys were very powerful in this period, notably Ramsey and St Neots, and Elsworth Church benefited from the patronage of Ramsey. Caxton was a parish given by the King to the Dean and Canons of St George's Chapel Windsor at that eminent chapel's foundation - the connection endures and St George's are still their patrons. Many medieval churches had highly coloured paintings on their walls to illustrate Christian truth to a largely illiterate populace. One fine late example (15C) of this art survives at All Saints and St Andrew's Kingston. Look out for the Wheel of Fortune on the north aisle wall and the rather sketchy remains of a soldier with a lance (possibly St George and the dragon?). St Pandionia and St John the Baptist Eltisley has retained a remarkable staircase that would have gone up to its rood loft, but now ends in empty space. St Pandionia, by the way, is a little known saint who was once Abbess at the Abbey which is now believed to be under the Rectory Garden in Eltisley. Upkeep These Ancient Monuments have been maintained and cared for over many years by faithful members of the congregations. Though many of them are small they are well-loved and in many ways can be considered 'prayers in stone'
