Background
History
Following the growth of the village of Prickwillow owing to the diversion of the River Great Ouse, a church was provided: formerly the village was in the parish of Holy Trinity and St Mary, Ely. It was built between 1866 and 1868 of knapped flint with brick dressings on a foundation of wooden piles by Richard Reynolds Rowe, an architect who worked extensively in Cambridgeshire. The elaborately carved font of Italian marble, perhaps from Carrara, was given to Ely Cathedral by Dean Spencer in 1693. The baptism register starts in 1874 and the marriages in 1864. There is no graveyard as nearby Ely is used. The church became a Grade II listed building on 10 March 2026.
