Overview
Grid reference: SO 313 945
St. Etheldreda's Church, Hyssington, is of an uncertain date; it first appears in the historical record in the late thirteenth century, but it has been suggested that it could date back as far as the Anglo-Saxon period due to its dedication to a seventh century saint. It appears most likely, however, to be a post-Conquest foundation. In 1875 the church was almost entirely rebuilt, though earlier masonry was incorporated into the current structure, and little remains to indicate its early origins beyond a medieval font and the Jacobean pulpit. It is a single chambered structure, with a vestry and west double bellcote, in which hang two bells, one inscribed `Sancta Etheldreda, ora pro nobis?; `Saint Etheldreda, pray for us?. The building is primarily greyish sandstone, with dressings of the same material. The nave is roofed with slate, with cusped ridge tiles, while the chancel roof is of red tiling. https://coflein.gov.uk/en/site/408563
