St Mary the Less, Trumpington Street, Cambridge

In 1856-7 Sir George Gilbert Scott restored St Mary the Less, which is an imposing mid-fourteenth century church, providing new roofs and removing the gallery and pews. However, it has been considerably altered since Sir George Gilbert Scott’s day, particularly after the fall of the tower later in the century and there is now little trace of Scott’s work.
