Godmanchester: St Mary 2011-07-10
Inscription above the west door of the tower, built in 1623. The lettering puzzled me but, according to the Victoria County History, reads BVRGVS GVMECESTRE, i.e. Borough of Godmanchester (the 1943 edition of Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles says that "Godmanchester" should be pronounced "Gumsester".)
