Sandon Church - see Packets of Postcards
SANDON (3½ miles S.E. from Ashwell Station G.N.R) has a flint church, probably late fourteenth century. Several features should be noted: (1) Perp. screen (oak) between nave and chancel; (2) old stained glass in windows of both aisles; (3) fine Jacobean oak pulpiy; (4) old brass, with inscription which was imperfect 200 years ago back, to "Johannes Fitz Geoffery, Armiger" (d, 1480); (5) piscina in each aisle; (6) pinnacled and crocketted arches in chancel over triple sedilia. The church was partially restored in 1875. The manor of Sandone was owned by Saxon Kings; Athelstan gave ten houses in the vill to St. Paul's, London. The Old North Road to Royston is 2 miles E.
