Bottisham

Bottisham is a village and civil parish in the East Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England, about 6 miles east of Cambridge, halfway to Newmarket. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,983, including Chittering, increasing to 2,199 at the 2011 Census.

Bottisham has overhanging cottages and the tower of the Church of the Holy Trinity which has some of the finest fourteenth-century work in the county. The tower and the chancel with its stone seats are thirteenth century but the nave and aisles and porches are all from the fourteenth. The south aisle has a stone seat for the priest, a piscina, and in its floor an ancient coffin lid. Above the arcades is a clerestory of fluted lancet windows. There is a font and three old screens of the fourteenth century, two of oak and the other of stone, with three delicate open arches before the chancel. There is an iron-bound chest of 1790, and some fragments of carved stones, the oldest being a Norman tympanum.
