Ickleton - St Mary Magdalene from SW

sps1955 has posted:

The aisled Norman nave - evidenced in this view by the W door - was heightened in the C14 when the south aisle was also rebuilt to a wider design and the S porch was built; Victorian W window. The tower is early C14 but stands over a Norman crossing and the spire (restored in 1991-2) may be C13 in origin, as (according to The Buildings of England) there are signs that the timbers were dismantled and reused when the tower was rebuilt.

Built in 1844-5 and attributed to John Thomas (1813-1862). Originally symmetrical, but extended to left and right in the 1870s and 1880s.

The station became unstaffed in 1967 and the building, vacant since 2004, was under threat of demolition, but received Grade II listing in August 2020: historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1471392 ; www.savebritainsheritage.org/campaigns/item/665/PRESS-RELEASE-Dads-Army-station-saved-by-listing .

Lincoln - looking E from High Bridge

Taken from the top floor of Stokes High Bridge Café, where my viewpoint was dictated by the availability of a free table! The brick and stone building with corner turret on the far left dates from 1907 but the echoing turret to its right belongs to the Waterside Shopping Centre, an exercise in pastiche. Spanning the river is Empowerment, designed by Stephen Broadbent and completed in 2002. The building to the right dates from 1982-3, with a block of (I suppose) c.1960 on the far right.

Heighington - Dovecote in the Old Stackyard from SE

sps1955 has posted:

The dovecote stands over the east end of a former cartshed, now converted to a house. Described by the Historic England listing as early C19 although the "black and white" treatment of the timber framing is perhaps a later alteration: historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1062558 .

C13 W tower with lancet windows (one is visible below the bell openings); aisles were added in the late C13. However, the church was extensively restored and altered in the C19 - the S porch was added (or rebuilt), the tower heightened (1878), the S transept added (replacing a chapel demolished at the start of the C19) and the chancel rebuilt (1855) in style of c.1300, to the designs of C.A. Buckler. The work was carried out during the incumbency of the Robert Goodwin from 1847; according to the church guidebook, Goodwin had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University and financed some of the work himself, along with his widowed sister, Elizabeth Hemington-Goodwin.

The school takes its name from Bewick Bridge, who was vicar of Cherry Hinton from 1816-1833; he founded the first school in the village in 1832: www.bewickbridge.com/werechanging_detail.asp?Section=21&a... .

The main house dates from c.1725, with a lower and probably contemporary kitchen wing to the right; the SE wing (on the far right) may be of C17 origin, but it and the kitchen wing were remodelled to give a uniform appearance, probably in the C19.

Seen from Clare College bridge and partly obscured by the wall of Clare College garden but worth posting, I hope, for the shadows cast by the low winter sun, even if this must be one of the most photographed buildings in the world, not for its own sake, but because it stands next to King's College chapel.

Built 1724-31 to the designs of James Gibbs, and now often known as the Gibbs Building: www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/11...; www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp98-136 (search for "Fellows' or Gibbs' Building").
