Church of St Andrew, High Street, Soham - East Cambridgeshire
Minster church dating from 1180-90, of cruciform plan. Extended in C15 by one bay to the west when the tall four-stage west tower was built. Constructed of limestone, rubble and pebble stone with flint. Clunch and limestone internally. Restoration in Ketton stone. C15 nave roof. Wall paintings. The tower has been cordoned off due to loose masonry. The church suffers extensively from damp.
