The church of SS Mary and Andrew in Whittlesford Cambridgeshire is a structure
of flint of the 11th century, with additions of the 12th, 13th
and 14th centuries, and consists of a chancel with chantry on the
south side, nave, south aisle, south porch of oak (1350) and an
embattled central tower containing 6 bells. A late 12th or early
13th-century sheela-na-gig can be observed on a high window arch
