Today I caught the villager 1 bus and alighted at Shelford another village with a lot of history and several information boards one of which gives the history of the church.
There has been a church in the village of Shelford for a thousand years. A priest and a church are recorded in the Doomsday Book, and there would appear to have been a center for Christian worship on the present site as early as the 9th century. The existing church contains a fragment of a Saxon Cross from that period.
The nave of this church was constructed in the 13th century, circa 1250. The aisles and some window tracery date from the 14th century and the tower probably constructed in the late 15th century. In 1878 a major rebuilding of the church was undertaken.
