Later periods have left their mark on the interiors of the churches, notable in Tudor and Jacobean pulpits, panelling and pews. The eighteenth century left a fine memorial statue in St Mary the Virgin Longstowe of a drowning man reaching up to the anchor that is Christ. The largest wholesale Victorian reconstruction of a church is at St Mary the Virgin Longstowe. Ruined by the mid-eighteenth century, a nineteenth century rector retained the medieval tower, but reconstructed all the rest. It is a riot of polychromatic brickwork and tiling worthy of Keble College Oxford. Splendid Isolation?!!? Some of these Parish Churches exist a little way from the centre of the Villages they service. Longstow, Papworth Everard, Knapwell, Boxworth Parish Churches are all on the outskirts of their respective villages, whilst Croxton is at the end of a Private road in the splendid setting of The Croxton Park Estate. This doesn't stop us from seeking to be at the heart of Village life though!
